About Bridget’s Bunnies


Bridget's Bunnies is a registered charity that supports individuals and families who have experienced a pregnancy or infant loss. Bridget’s Bunnies works to ensure no one endures pregnancy or infant loss alone. Bridget’s Bunnies relies on volunteers, individual donations, Bridget’s Run and grants to sustain its programs and services including Comfort Kits and Little Loss Library. 

Title: Bunny Makers


If you’re a crafter or knitter, join our community of Bunny Makers for a good cause! Bunny Makers meet monthly to chat and crochet together from 4:00-6:00 pm at Bridget’s Bunnies office (65 Cedar Pointe Dr. unit 811A, Barrie). This is also a time to refresh knitting/crocheting supplies and continue crocheting in the comfort of your own home. Bunny Maker volunteers make Pocket Pals, crocheted or knitted bunnies for our Comfort Kit program. All materials are provided for free of charge and we ask that finished bunnies and unused materials be donated back to Bridget’s Bunnies. 

Hours: 2-10 hours a month (flexible)
Location: In-person/remote

Roles and Responsibilities:


•    Crochet or knit a bunny/pocket pal according to Bridget’s Bunnies patterns and instructions
•    Only take what you need and ensure to return any unused supplies
•    Return completed bunnies within a month of completion as these bunnies are needed for the Comfort Kit program
•    Opportunity to join the online community to share tips, tricks and make fellow crafter friends
•    Opportunity to gather monthly for an in-person tea, chat and crocheting event at Bridget’s Bunnies office.
