In the month of August, “Quilts for Kids” tins have been gracing each BC Liquor Store’s cash-out counter. The tins were designed by Kyra Henry (Administrative Assistant) and Fran McArthur. Fran heads the quilting group that has supplied numerous quilts to youth as they leave our transitional housing program. It doesn’t matter if they stay for a week or a year, each youth receives a quilt; it is given normally in the context of farewell dinner party where they are reminded that the quilt represents their need for safe sanctuary and that they are worthy to seek and to have such a special place. 
It is also to remind them that the quilts were stitched with love, as a sign of hope for their dreams and future.
This is the second year that BC Liquor Stores have enabled us to tell a little bit of what we do in the community. The monies from the collection will go to purchasing materials for the quilting program. Thank you BC Liquor Stores and the great employees who helped to promote this program!
