Community Quilts

At the April 2021 meeting we received 19 quilts, being two NICU, eight child size and nine adults.  These will be added to the 12 quilts from the March meeting, making a total of 31 quilts to be donated.  They will be going to the Waikato Hospital Newborn Unit (NICU) and Women’s Refuge.  

We have received 200 hot water bottle covers , these will be delivered to the Salvation Army. A big Thank You to everyone who supported Community Quilts this month.

We want to collect the small silica gel sachets that come with medication, vitamins etc. These are great for putting in the fabric bins to keep them fresh.   Please bring them to our meetings.
