We will achieve this success through the purposeful
exchange of gifts among diverse clients, staff, volunteers, and community partners.
Donations of paper plates and cups plus plastic utensils can be left in the bin under

baby quilts is a direct way to express concern and care for the growing population
of at-risk children. You can add immeasurably to the lives of these at-risk children
by participating in this national network of volunteers dedicated to providing a baby
quilt to each child under the age of six who is born alcohol-or drug-affected or
infected with the HIV/AIDS virus. We also have quilt kits to take home that go to
cancer patients at Fairview Hospital. Any skill and interest level welcome. Please
come and join us for as many sessions as you can! Donations of fabric, batting and
embroidery floss are appreciated!
