Giving Quilts
Bienvenidos Quilts was first envisioned as a response to kids sleeping on the floor of detention centers. However, due to volume and government considerations, nearly all of our quilts are distributed via shelters along our southern border.
- Ainsworth United Church of Christ, Portland, Oregon
- Casa Alitas, Tucson, Arizona
- Green Valley – Sahuarita Samaritans, Sahuarita, Arizona
- La Casa de Misericordia, Nogales, Mexico
- Ukrainian Bible Church, Fairview, Oregon
