This along with what we do for a local nursing home (Christmas stockings), adult bibs for a altzimer day care, and quilts for Le Bonheur Children's hospital and the Shriners for the burned/disabled children they treat, and we supply quilts to a local PD for children who have been in wrecks or fires.
