A thank-you from Camp Erin

We received this thank-you note from the Providence Camp Erin Team for quilts we gave them last summer.

Camp Erin is a fun, high-energy overnight camp that provides emotional support and grief education for children and teens ages 6 to 17 who have experienced the death of a loved one. Each participant receives a quilt.

Camp Erin is a national program funded by the Eluna Foundation. Camps are held in 46 locations throughout the U.S. and Canada. The camp is free for kids; funding comes from Eluna and local groups. Oregon’s Camp Erin is administered by the Providence Foundation and takes place at Camp Kuratli in Boring, OR.

Stack of quilts for Kinship House

Kinship House donation

CCQ members Donna Gilbo and Diane Campbell recently dropped off another 20 quilts to Kinship House, a Portland nonprofit that provides mental health services to kids in foster care. The Kinship House outpatient program offers ongoing consultation, therapy, and education to help parents develop skills to support their children’s unique needs. You can learn more about Kinship House on their website.

In the Coffee Creek Quilters prison quilting program, our students each make three quilts. The first two are for donation to organizations like Kinship House while students get to keep their third quilts.
