Helen's Quilters
Second Wednesdays at 9:30 a.m.
Our Moran UMC quilting group meets monthly to tie quilts that are donated to the CASA "My Bag" program to support children placed in foster care. We invite you to join us on the second Wednesday each month to help tie quilts and share fellowship.
Children who are placed in foster care often arrive with little more than the clothes on their backs. Through this program, CASA Partners provides these children with an age-appropriate duffel bag or backpack.
Each bag contains a handmade quilt or afghan, clothes, toiletries, a stuffed toy, and books to give the child solace. Even more important than providing for the basic needs for living, the My Bag program gives these children dignity and comfort at a very frightening and difficult time in their lives. Moran UMC partners with Manito UMC to create dozens of these bags every year.
Since its beginning in April of 1998, My Bag has provided more than 17,000 bags filled with love, dignity, and comfort for these children. We are honored to be a part of this important program!
