COMMUNITY PROJECT OPPORTUNITY
Are you familiar with Hospice House in Oregon, Illinois? It is a wonderful facility serving the community, offering patients & families a home like environment while providing full Hospice care and services. Quilts are an important part of making this facility very home-like! So, our friends at Serenity House, have reached out to the QGS community for assistance in adding to their supply of quilts used at the facility, covering each patient’s bed as well as those beds used by family members. They are in need of a limited number of quilts sized at 72” x 96” for these beds. If you are interested in donating a quilt for this cause, please contact us at the Shop, we will coordinate the collection and delivery to Serenity House.
