My Quilting Guild has been busy again. We are making quilts for all the beds in a new Battered Women's shelter that is being built in Reading, PA. For years we have provided a smaller quilt for every child who has passed through the shelter doors. Here is a link to the article
My church collects toiletries for the local battered women's shelter! When any of us travel, we bring home the extra soap, shampoo, lotion, etc., and toss it into a special bushel basket -- all new and unused, of course. Lots of us also pick up the small tubes of toothpaste at the store, and bring in the goodie bag things from the dentist's office -- toothbrush, toothpaste, floss, etc. When the basket is full we take it all to the shelter. It's not a huge thing for any of us to do, but for the women who arrive at the shelter with nothing but the clothes on their backs, they get their own soap, shampoo, etc.
