Who we are, what we do

There are few things more comforting than wrapping yourself or your child in a quilt made with love. Quilts from Caring Hands (QCH) is striving to bring this feeling to children in need in Oregon's Willamette Valley area. Since its inception in 1990, QCH has given away over 4300 quilts. In the past few years, QCH has averaged 375 quilts a year.

The primary purpose of Quilts from Caring Hands is to make quilts for children-at-risk: the homeless, those in foster care, drug addicted, HIV positive, visually impaired, abused, as well as infants of teen mothers (see list of local agencies who distribute our quilts).

Quilts from Caring Hands volunteers make crib and twin-size quilts. Our volunteers assemble tactile quilts and toys for visually impaired children. Each quilt we make for a child is unique. We also make and donate Christmas stockings to a local children's home. In the past, we have made bags to hold heart monitors for hospital patients and have created pre-Braille activity books for pre-school children.
