Coffee Creek Quilters has received a $1,000 grant from Women’s Care Foundation, an organization that serves the Portland tri-county area with a focus on women’s social concerns and health care. These funds will help pay for classroom quilting supplies, sewing tools for “release kits’ that we offer students when they leave CCCF and a variety of administrative expenses. Women’s Care Foundation’s history dates back to 1923 when Mrs. Jacob Rosenberg established a convalescent home for needy women in SE Portland. Today WCF offers grant funding to Portland area nonprofits that provide housing for the homeless, shelter for victims of domestic abuse, assistance to elderly in maintaining independent living, education, healthcare, and rehabilitation.
