I wanted to let you know that 400 quilts have been received so far for the tornado victims of Moore Oklahoma. Most of them came in at the last minute, so Kathy and I have been waiting to see how many came in so we could make our plans.
We have a supplier who is going to help us with 400 tote bags to go with each quilt, and I have booked my flight to Oklahoma City.
I will fly in on July 9, we will distribute relief supplies and the quilts on July 10, and I will fly home (and Kathy will drive the truck back to Ohio) July 11.
As a result we have decided to extend the deadline to receive tornado quilts until JULY 1st.
For guidelines please visit our Quilt Relief page, before shipping your quilts.
We will present quilts to the families who have lost children first, then others who have lost homes and family members. If you send a quilt we will make sure it goes into the hands of someone in need.
