Volunteer: Sewing Volunteers Needed!

We are in need of some people who know how to sew or willing to learn how to sew to put together pieces of the Hope Haven Kid Chair. We have everything you need to get started; materials, a sewing machine, etc. and would be willing to train. Please let us know if this is of interest to you, and we would love to talk with you about it! For more information call 605-595-3093.

Hope Haven International has sent 150,000 wheelchairs to 109 countries worldwide to impoverished adults and children. Without a wheelchair, many disabled individuals are confined to their homes; only able to enjoy their communities by being carried around by their family members. Having a wheelchair gives the recipient hope, opportunities they never thought possible and unthinkable joy. When we started sending chairs, we realized that we weren't receiving many wheelchairs for children. As a result, we partnered with Dordt University to create the Hope Haven Kid Chair. This chair has been sent all over the world and is heavily sought after.
