The Faith Quilters of Faith Lutheran Church in Punta Gorda recently donated 48 handmade quilts to the Charlotte Care Center (formerly the Charlotte County Homeless Coalition), benefiting residents at the shelter. The donation included a variety of quilts designed for children, women, and men, with the hope that these quilts will bring comfort and warmth to their new owners.
The Faith Quilters have a long-standing tradition of crafting and donating quilts to local charities. Last spring, they created and donated 50 baby quilts and afghans to Charlotte County Healthy Starts, which were distributed during a drive-through baby shower. Additionally, the Guardian ad Litem program received nearly 40 quilts and fleece blankets for the children in their care, along with 22 “comfort bears.”
In November, the group also donated quilts to the Homeless Coalition.
