Thank you to The Essex Reporter for telling the story of Helping Hands.
To Cindy Hoffman, who started it, and Suzanne Freitas, who leads it now, thank you for everything you have given to this program over the last 20 years. Because of you, quilts made by our talented and generous community keep finding their way to people who need them.
The thank-you cards that come back show the impact of this work. Thank you to every volunteer who makes it possible.
The next Helping Hands - Quilts for the Community Sew In is Tuesday, November 17th, if you would like to join us.
