My name is Sherry Brown and I serve on the Community Outreach Committee for
the Berry Basket Quilt Guild in Medford NJ. We make and donate pillowcases
for cancer kids, quilts for our soldiers, quilts for babies at Virtua
Hospital, and quilts for the families in need in our community. One of the
charities that we support is Quilts For Kids, Inc. We were thrilled to be
able to link up with the non-profit www.quiltsforkids.org a charity that
donates our handmade patchwork quilts to children in need across America.
Having the knowledge that a quilt I made will help comfort another in need
in MY community makes me feel like one person can make a difference. Well,
put that one person together with a group of quilters (BBQ) and we have the
opportunity to make quite an impact in our community. Just seeing their
faces light up with excitement as we give them a quilt is reason enough to
make a quilt! Together this guild helps make a difference in the lives of
so many others, and that is why I volunteer.
