250 Blankets Sent to World Vision

Kidz Quiltz sent 250 quilts to World Vision this week. World Vision is a Christian humanitarian group dedicated to helping those less fortunate across the globe. Kidz Quiltz volunteers packed up the quilts and took them to World Vision's distribution center in Denver.

THANK YOU VOLUNTEERS!

Our volunteers make beautiful quilts.


There's a lot of love with those blankets.

22 Quilts Sent to Orphanage in Mexico

Kidz Quiltz sent 22 quilts to an orphanage in Mexico the week of December 7. We were able to include Spanish Bibles in the 'Bible Pocket' on each quilt.

Helping Children in Africa

One of the Kidz Quiltz Board Members, Sandra Wright, had the opportunity to take 20 quilts with her to Cameroon, Africa in October. While working with local missionaries, she was able to give quilts to children who were poor. One quilt would benefit 2 or 3 children as it is not uncommon for siblings to share a bed with each other.

The many children that will share 2 quilts.



A very needed quilt, with Gospel tracts, is delivered.



This little girl was delighted with her pink quilt.

Another child we were able to tell about Jesus when she received her quilt.

This woman cannot wait for her children to get home to show them the quilt.



This is why Kidz Quiltz is committed to making quilts for children around the world.


A mother and her 3 children receive a quilt.

So happy.







The youngest wouldn't let go of the quilt.
