20 Quilts Delivered to Local PD & FD

Last week Kidz Quiltz delivered 10 quilts each to our local Fire and Police Departments. These quilts will be put in the police cars and fire trucks ready to be used in cases of emergency.

Thanks to our Ft. Lupton public servants for their faithful work and our Kidz Quiltz volunteers who support them.

World Vision Update!

Hello friends,

Originally we reported that 250 quilts went to World Vision, but through the kind donations we received and our great volunteers, the final total was 425! Now that's teamwork.

We'll keep you posted as to where these quilts are distributed as we hear from World Vision. Right now, the thought is these quilts will most likely go to Eastern Europe.

Thanks to everyone who made this possible!

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!
