Compassion Outreach

Projects and groups for the 2020 - 2021 year.

This year our members worked on quilts which were donated to the following groups:

Fallen Soldiers   These quilts are donated to the families of the soldiers who have given their all for the freedoms we all hold dear.

Bridging the Gap was founded in 2009 as a way to connect community donors to those living below the poverty line in Coweta County.

Thank you note from Marie Umbach for the Cuban Mission group

Dear Susan,

I meant to send you a thank you card for you to read to the wonderful, generous quilters. So please relay the message to them.
 
In Cuba we get to meet the ladies that do all the handwork  They sell their items in the closest market and the proceeds go towards funding the church and also projects in the community.  They were all so cute and of various ages. They make blouses, crocheted sweaters, table toppers, purses and beautiful children's clothing. They were so excited to have so such pretty material to pick from. 

I am attaching a few pictures of their items and of the ladies themselves!!  Again, thanks for all your generosity and kindness.

Marie
