Fabric and thread needed...

The Cover Girls piece together fabric squares to make quilts for shipment overseas by CLWR.  To do this, we need donations of fabric and thread.  We turn sheets, drapes, duvet covers, clothes, etc. into 10" x 10" squares  for these quilts.  If you have any fabric that's in good condition, we can use it!  We also need thread to sew the squares together.

2017's shipment supported the Tanganyika Christian Refugee Service (TCRS). TCRS is an Associate Field Program of the Lutheran World Federation Department for World Service (LWF/DWS). It was first established in the former Tanganyika (now a part of Tanzania) in 1964, to primarily provide humanitarian assistance during the time when refugees fleeing civil strife in surrounding countries came to the relatively peaceful Tanganyika. Tanzania’s generous policy towards refugees and asylum seekers has since enabled hundreds of thousands of refugees from neighbouring countries to find safe haven.
