The war in Gaza has left thousands of people homeless, injured and critically ill. Many of these people are newborn infants, young children, or teenagers.

Although shipments of humanitarian aid for Gaza are very limited right now, in time it will become possible to send quilts to Gaza. A group of quilters from Orchard Ridge United Church of Christ is preparing for this opportunity by making small quilts for distribution to Gaza via our United Church of Christ Global Mission Partner, the Episcopal Diocese of Jerusalem.

Can you help?

• Make a quilt (40″ x 40″ for babies and young children, slightly larger for teens)
• Share extra fabric, thread, or lightweight batting
• Donate to help with materials and shipping costs
• Pray for the people of Gaza
• Spread the word to others

Contact Diane Dulin for more information. We welcome your questions, ideas, and involvement.
