Comfort Shawls of Alabama “The goal is to provide a tangible expression of peace, healing, love, comfort and hope.” In July 2011, the Alabama Organ Center organized a program to provide comfort shawls to new organ donor families. It is our hope that this small gift of compassion will bring these families comfort and solace in their time of sorrow and need. We are asking for volunteers across the State of Alabama who knit or crochet to help with this project. Instructions for Comfort Shawls
