Four local organizations need & accept new & gently used quilts and blankets. The Quilt Emporium in Woodland Hills made us aware of the organizations.
- My Stuff Bags Foundation
- "Every year hundreds of thousands of children in the United States are rescued from abuse, neglect, domestic violence and homelessness. Tragically these children often enter into foster care or crisis shelters with little to nothing of their own. During what is an unimaginably traumatic transition into foster care or crisis shelters, each My Stuff Bag is a tangible demonstration that reassures these children that they are valued as individuals, and that their personal belongings deserve the same care and dignity that they do"
