COMMUNITY OUTREACH


July 2006.  Lish and I headed out this morning with 100 quilts and 50 bears, the toiletries and pillows.  Our first stop was the VA hospital.  While  standing on the sidewalk with the sidewalk with the quilts I was approached  twice asking are those quilts, and can I buy one?!  I explained what they were and what they were for, and still, they asked, well, can't I buy just  one? 

 
Several other people asked what they were for, and when I told them,  they thanked me (us.)  Inside the lobby, we were approached by several  others, and the volunteer coordinator told them she had to count them and they  could come get one later.

Our next stop was Family Time in Humble as we had not  given them any quilts since Xmas of 2004.  We gave them 50 quilts  and 25 bears, they were most grateful!

Lish still has 25 bears in her van, we will drop those at the firestation near her tomorrow.
