During the Quilt Festival in Peachland on June 8, more than 100 quilts were donated to the 琉璃神社 Women's Shelter and the Westside Salvation Army.

The donations came from the Pincushion Quilt Guild. 

The quilts that were donated to 琉璃神社鈥檚 Women鈥檚 Shelter will go to those who are leaving their transition houses, as they move forward with their lives they will have a new quilt to take with them. 

According to the Westside Salvation Army鈥檚 Lenetta Parry,  鈥淲hen we are able to gift someone with a quilt, they feel loved. It is like a hug from a stranger. It almost calms people instantly, making their tough situation a little easier.鈥�
