The community-run hospital being built in Invercargill is the initiative of Southland farmer and cancer campaigner the late Blair Vining.
It will provide healthcare for anyone from the Southern District Health Board zone who would otherwise miss out through the public or private systems.
Local farmers and friends Amy Blaikie, Brooke Cameron and Sarah Dooley are asking farmers to donate bales of wool, fleece, bellies or pieces to the foundation.
Farmers need to state the wool is going to Bales4Blair, which will then be scoured by NZ Wool Scouring to make insulation.
Anything left over will be sold and proceeds used to buy wool carpets and furnishings.
Blaikie said there are opportunities for wool to be used in squabs, covers and throws.
For every $1000 donated in cash or kind, Blaikie said that is one more patient the hospital can treat.
