Lutheran World relief distributed its first quilts in 1945 to families in war-torn Europe following the Second World War. Within a decade, the ministry was reaching around the globe to villages far removed from the world’s attention. Today, an average of 300,000 quilts are lovingly given worldwide each year.

 

The Quilting Group of LCM creates a tangible, lasting bond between the people who lovingly assemble them, and our neighbors around the world, who receive quilts in their greatest times of need.

 

We give thanks to all those who helped make quilts this year. Together they produced 113 quilts this year, which will be distributed to:

 

Lutheran World Relief

Hospice of North Idaho

Union Gospel

Children’s Village

Safety Net

Graduating seniors
