Comfort Quilts Delivers
Comfort Quilts delivered 22 boxes of warmth to Isanti to be sent to Ukraine. There were 18 boxes of quilts, comforters, blankets (total 74) and 4 boxes of ski jackets (38) donated by Wild Mountain. They were shipped out on April 24.
The comforters and blankets came from Bare Home. We just had to cut off the side with the quality control test hole and bind or hem. Most of the quilts had backings made from flannel or fleece from sheets donated by Bare Home. All the quilts were tied and bound by Comfort Quilt members. Thanks to everyone for their help in supporting those in need.
