Columbine Courier Features Scraps To Treasures

Scraps to Treasures' members had the privilege of spending time with Chris Ferguson and Gabriel Christus of the Columbine Courier, Saturday February 2nd, 2013.  We are so grateful for the time they shared with us and for the wonderfully written article published about our group.  We hope to inspire new members to take part in our group and to shine the light on the amazing charities we support with our quilts.

Donation update for February 2013



Thanks to the amazing dedication of our volunteers, after our last meeting on February 2nd, 2013, we had stacks of beautiful quilts ready for distribution  -- 52 in total.  

They are going to:

- Inner City Clinic - 17 baby quilts

- Joshua Station - 12 quilts 

- Less Homelessness - 13 baby/child quilts.  This is a new group for us and is a WaterStone Community Church-sponsored group.  It is described as:  "With economic conditions continuing to deteriorate, the face of our homeless neighbors in Jefferson County is very different than we might imagine. There are now more than 2,800 verified homeless children in Jefferson County Schools, and that number is growing daily. Less Homelessness works to provide temporary shelter for the homeless in Jefferson County."

- Night Lights, at WaterStone Community Church - 5 child quilts

- Dry Bones - 5 quilts
