We are fortunate to be able to share our proceeds from our recent quilt show with 2 organizations in Malone. One check went to the First Congregational Church for their general fund. They hosted our quilt show in the main church and went to great lengths to make our show successful. President of the guild Lonnie Henry presents a check to Christina Borst from the church.
The main benefactor of the show was the Helpful Hands Respite. Melody Ransome was present to receive the check and talk about the program that they provide for family care givers. It provide a day that the people being cared for to come, have lunch, socialize, and have a program for the day. The program allows the care gives a day to relax, due errands, appointments and take time for themselves. Melody talked about the real need in our community for this service. It has run one day a week and is going to expand to two days a week to allow more people to take advantage.
