(Editor’s note – the following was received from former member Julie Martin. Her request for donations resulted in an overwhelming response from QU members. Those donations have been shared with many of those suffering in the wake of Hurricane Helene.)
Rarely do you see the level of compassion and generosity that has been demonstrated by this guild. When I reached out for some “cast off” quilts I had no idea of the bounty of kindness that would come our way. I’ve been able to distribute the donations to several churches and individuals with families in the hardest hit areas. I’ve also shared items with a local charity that assists the homeless and destitute, all of whom are in great need. Many running these donation sites were amazed when told of the origins of the items and extend heartfelt thanks and blessings to you all.
Sincerely,
Julie Martin
