We all know how devastating Sandy was. Well, it's been more than a week but there are still displaced families who urgently need our help. Our friend, Cyndi Hershey, told me about this and we decided to have this grassroots drive for donations.
The families are in need of winter clothing - coats, hats, scarves, gloves, etc - as well as regular clothing. Personal hygiene items that can be used in shelters are also needed. Kids need backpacks for school (the school will provide school supplies). Finally, with the cold weather upon us, there is a great need for QUILTS! Blankets are in short supply so quilts of any size would be very welcome.
If you are in the Philadelphia, PA area, please drop your donations off at the Round Bobbin Quilt Shop in Ambler. Cyndi and Jim Hershey will transport these donations to Hoboken, NJ where Cyndi's daughter lives and works at the school. Otherwise, please check with other relief agencies to see how you can help or contact your local quilt shop for help in starting your own drive for donations.
Thank you for your generosity.
