Hi Gail,A client of my office is a participant in the Restorative Justice Quilting Program at South Central Correctional Center (SCCC) in Licking, Missouri, and has shared with us photos of many of the quilts he has created, as well as the positive impact participation in the program has had in his life.  The program relies upon donated supplies for its existence.  Our office has decided to collect donations for this program to be delivered to SCCC.  A flyer with more information about the program and photos of some of the quilts made in the program is attached.

My office will be collecting donated supplies (quilting fabric, thread, batting, yarn) through October 9, 2024, which we will deliver to SCCC at the completion of the drive.   Useable scraps and partial balls of yarn are welcome.

I will bring bins for collecting donations to the September 14, 2024 STLMQG guild meeting and to SewMe Oct. 4-6, 2024.  

Please share this information with the Guild in the next email update.

We appreciate your donations and support!

Thanks,

Kristina Starke Olson  (she/her)
