VALDOSTA, GA (WTXL) - If you knit, crochet or sew and have a desire to do something to benefit area cancer patients, consider joining the Chemo Cap Brigade, a group of volunteers at South Georgia Medical Center.

These volunteers hand make caps and other hand crafted items that they gift free of charge to cancer patients at the Pearlman Cancer Center. The group has been active for over 5 years with around 25 women who help out.

They also put tags on their creations with a special message from the person who made it. Members said it's rewarding to see their work out in public.

The yarn and fabric used by the group has all been donated from various donors.

The Chemo Cap Brigade is still looking for more volunteers. They meet the last Thursday of each month to drop off completed caps, trade patterns and see each other’s designs. For more information call Jeannie Grow at (229)-244-4152.
