On May third, members of the Lincoln City Church of the Nazarene donated 42 handmade quilts to first responders of the Lincoln City Police and North Lincoln Fire and Rescue.
Officers Folmar and Winn accepted the quilts on behalf of the police department saying, “The kids love the quilts. They are comforting. The quilts are sometimes given out at domestic disputes that require involved children to come into the police station. Many times kids are in the station all day. Or they are given to the kids at auto accidents who are pretty shaken up. The quilts are calming for them.”
From the Lincoln City Police Department’s Facebook post, “Thank you to the members of the Lincoln City Church of the Nazarene for donating these beautiful, hand-stitched quilts to LCPD and North Lincoln Fire Rescue to provide comfort to children during traumatic incidents. We are truly grateful for your thoughtfulness and generosity.”
Kudos to all who participated in this worthy event! The spirit of giving to someone in need always gives Our Lord a smile. ♥️✌️
Thank you, Donna! We quilt every Thursday from 10am-2pm. No experience needed. We always need more help.
