We are so grateful for the quilts donated to the Bienvenidos Quilts project. Over our short lifetime, just three and a half years, we have made and received over 900 quilts! We recently received an urgent plea from Nogales. Casa de la Misericordia had just welcomed 28 babies under three years of age. We were so happy that we could provide the quilts they needed. That batch of over 60 quilts provided resources as well for other smaller shelters.
We are now working on quilts for our Christmas dispatch. If you would like to contribute a single quilt (or a bagful) to this project, we ask that you send them to us before Thanksgiving. During the first week of December First Crew in Portland will joyfully document, label, briefly display, bless, wash, pack and send your treasures to the border.
The Thanksgiving deadline makes it possible for your treasures to be placed in the hands of chilly migrant children and families in time for Christmas.
