The first year 88 quilts were given to Providence Hospital. The quilts are distributed to various areas by Sister Cecile Matushek. Fifteen to twenty quilts are now being made each month. These are given to many families and individuals who need comforting. Not all are in the hospital. The quilts are all sizes and are for all ages, from premature babies to the dying.
