November 20, 2007 - It was a cold, drizzly day but Alison M and Wendy B were full of sunshine as they loaded up the van for a trip up to Saint Peter's University Hospital in New Brunswick, NJ to deliver bags full of bright, cheerful quilts for the children. Alison and Wendy delivered the quilts to the Office of Volunteer Services. They were delighted with the quilts. They were so glad to have them that a volunteer was called while Alison and Wendy were still there to take the preemie quilts and caps up to the NICU right away. Kendall Park Quilts For Kids is glad that our group could brighten a child's day.
The following quilts were delivered to St. Peter's - 14 Boy Quilts, 14 Girl Quilts, 10 Gender Neutral Quilts, 25 Preemie Quilts and 50+ Preemie Caps. A similar delivery is planned for Robert Wood Johnson in the next few days.
February 7, 2008 - After reading about a fire in town that left three families with small children homeless, Wendy B. contacted contacted the South Brunswick Department of Social Services to see what assistance we could offer. Very shortly after that, Wendy delivered quilts to Social Services for six boys and girls from age 14 months to 8 years old as well as one for the mom who is very close to giving birth. We also delivered two extras so the children would have a selection to pick from and the department could have some on hand for emergencies.
The Department of Social Services was delighted with the quilts we delivered. We look forward to working more closely with them in the future.
