About Us
Who We Are and What We Do
Comfort Hearts is a volunteer project making soft, heart-shaped pillows for breast cancer survivors that are distributed to patients via hospitals and doctors offices through the Valley. These pillows are given to people at the time of surgery and will be utilized as part of their recovery.
Comfort Hearts are provided at no charge. We receive no funding and donations from people who are touched by and support our project provide us with the means to purchase our supplies (i.e. fleece, fiber-fil, ribbon, thread and tags). Bernina Connection donates use of their classroom, sewing machines and schedules our work sessions.
Since May 2004, over 14,000 hearts have been made. Volunteers of all ages and expertise trace, cut, stitch, stuff, and attach labels. Tina's Treasures at Virginia Piper Cancer Center at HonorHealth distributing to all Honor Health Hospitals, Cancer Support Community, and other surgi-centers receive and distribute these hearts. Comfort Hearts are always available at Bernina Connection for those who need them. We are always willing to mail Comfort Hearts to those in need.
In 2011, we produced Breast Cancer Comfort Hearts: A How-We-Do-It Volunteer Project. The CD includes all of our forms , templates, instructions and advise for starting a Comfort Hearts project in your community. Ask how you can receive a CD and start your own group!
Due to COVID-19, we are not scheduling group Comfort Heart making sessions, however we are still producing Hearts with the help of individuals.
