The quilting ministry of hands of Hope Northwest makes quilts for the homeless. 
Twice a month quilting volunteers gather and make four quilts (eight per month) to be given to The Salvation Army Homeless Shelter and Valley Crisis Shelter for abused women and children. Residents use the quilts while there and take them when they move to another location.
The Hands of Hope label is sewn onto the back of the quilt in order to spread “Comfort and Hope”.
We have been making quilts for nine years with the help of about a dozen volunteers. More than 873 quilts have been made in that 9 years.
All material for quilt tops is donated. Volunteers buy eight single bed sheets monthly, which become the backing for the quilts. Given the average cost of quilts (around 75.00 per quilt) the ministry has donated over $65,000.00 in quilt value to local women and children in need.
