Creates precious Angel Dolls for distribution to children and elderly in need.

Red Ridge Angel Doll Ministry creates precious Angel Dolls for distribution to children and elderly in need.  It may be asked what effect a rag doll may have? The doll lets the individual know that someone and God loves and cares and they are not alone.  It indicates a resolve on the part of caring adults to reach into the community to help. 

The Ministry provides dolls to DHR in Dadeville, Harvest Evangelical Ministry, Adullam House, Wetumpka, AL; Big House foster care facility, Lee County; Hosanna Home in Opelika; Individual ill children and adults; Tri County Child Advocacy Center in Dadeville; Ivy Creak Hospice in Dadeville; Sav-A-Life Program in Alexander City;  Battered Women of East Alabama Task Force and nursing homes.  The dolls help the agencies to get a child to talk so their problem can be understood.

About 15 ladies regularly participate meeting the 1st and 4th Tuesday of each month 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. in the church Fellowship Hall.  They bring a sack lunch from home and share wonderful friendship and laughter.  The ministry is open to the community and some ladies are not members of Red Ridge.  The dolls and clothing are made from scratch which includes cutting, stuffing, sewing, and embroidery.  Some ladies sew clothing and do embroidery on faces from home.  This Ministry has made and given away over 10,000 dolls since its inception.

Donations or sewing materials are appreciated which include cotton fabric, thin white ribbon, lace, 1/4" elastic, scissors, hair colored yarn and pins.  Financial contributions are tax deductible and greatly welcomed!!!
