CHARITY OF THE MONTH:
Visiting Nurses Association
For June, we will be making lap sized quilts for
the Visiting Nurse Association. VNA
is Colorado’s leading nonprofit health care
agency, providing quality and compassionate
care. These lap quilts go mostly to patients in
hospice care. A good average size is 30" x
40", which fits well over the lap and legs of a
wheelchair bound patient. The lap quilts can
be knitted, crocheted, or a sewn quilt.
Drop-off deadline: Tuesday, June 30th.
