VOLUNTEER SEAMSTRESSES NEEDED
Help Us Sew Comfort & Hope
Donated wedding dresses are lovingly transformed into Angel Gowns, Bonnets, Angel Pouches, and Quilts, which are then gifted to grieving families across the United States. These beautiful handmade items offer dignity, comfort, and remembrance during a family's most heartbreaking moments.
As a volunteer seamstress with the Emma & Evan Foundation, you are a vital part of that healing. We provide the patterns and instructions—you provide the skill, care, and compassion.
With over 2,000 donated dresses in inventory, we are prayerfully seeking seamstresses who feel called to use their gifts for a greater purpose. If you have moderate to advanced sewing skills and a heart for serving grieving families, we would love to hear from you.

Our Story: A Calling with Eternal Impact
The Emma & Evan Foundation began as a quiet calling—something God placed on my heart to honor two dear friends who lost their babies far too soon. Now, several years later, I stand in awe of how He has moved. What started as a simple act of remembrance has grown into a ministry of deep healing and compassion.
The impact of this mission reaches far beyond the families who receive a handmade baby gown in the midst of their grief. Women who have endured unthinkable abuse have donated their wedding dresses in hopes of turning pain into beauty—paying love forward to families they'll never meet. Many of our seamstresses and volunteers have discovered a sense of purpose and healing through the work they do here. I, too, have found joy not only in leading this ministry but in building relationships with donors, volunteers, and those we serve.
In addition to supporting grieving families, our mission includes celebrating tiny victories—like NICU graduations. We provide soft, handmade gowns for medically fragile newborns who are finally strong enough to go home. These gowns mark moments of triumph and joy, and like our burial gowns, they are given completely free of charge to families and hospitals.
Invite Us to Share
If your church or ministry group feels called to support grieving families—or is simply looking for a meaningful outreach opportunity—we would be honored to come and share our story. We offer presentations about the heart behind the Emma & Evan Foundation, the lives being touched, and the many ways your church can serve alongside us—through prayer, donations, hands-on volunteering, or community outreach.
If you're not local to western Montana, we are happy to offer a virtual presentation so your group can still connect with our mission, no matter where you're located.
Please reach out to learn about our current needs or to schedule a time for us to present at your church.

SERVE LOCALLY
Wedding Dress Sale Volunteers
Looking for a meaningful way to give back right in your own community? A few times each year, The Emma & Evan Foundation hosts wedding dress sales to raise essential funds for our mission—and we couldn’t do it without the help of local volunteers. These events feature dresses that have been donated specifically for the purpose of fundraising, and all proceeds go directly toward supporting grieving families.
Volunteer opportunities include setting up and tearing down the venue, greeting and assisting brides, and interacting with the public as they shop. It’s a joyful, hope-filled atmosphere where your time and presence can have a lasting impact. Whether you can offer a few hours or an entire day, your help truly makes a difference.
