Blankets & Bears
Our Blankets & Bears program provides handmade bears and soft, new crib quilts for the babies we serve. Area sewing groups and other community groups collaborate to cut out, sew, stuff and finish the bears. Others cut out and finish summer-weight and winter-weight quilts and receiving blankets. Participating groups include: Zion Evangelical Lutheran Church adult bible camp participants American Sewing Guild – Dayton Chapter
