Community Service News
Since 1997 Gerard’s House has been serving the needs of local children and adults in grief. They continue to not only counsel grieving children and adults at their facility but are reaching out to schools where suicide prevention is needed. In addition, children and teens living with seriously ill family members are also welcome at Gerard’s House.
Below is a photo of a few participants working on their quilts at Gerard’s House. (Photo taken by staff member with signed approval to show child’s face.)

Many Mothers
Many Mothers has been in serving families in Santa Fe and surrounding areas since the 90’s. Started by Anna McCormick the mission of Many Mother’s "is to provide in-home services and wraparound care to achieve health equity and wellbeing for babies and their caregivers. Programs are available at no cost to eligible families with infants."
Basically, volunteers are matched with families of infants to provide support and care for those first challenging months of life. In an age where so many families are not living side by side with their extended families this service supports and nurtures young families. NNMQG quilts are used in the initial gift basket of infant needs. For more information on Many Mothers check out Manymothers.org.

Another Need in Our Community
This is a group in Eldorado that works with developmentally delayed kids on fine motor skills. They love anything scrap (fabric, lace, embroidery thread, trim, buttons). Kay just gave me bags full of fabric scraps which are going to be made into summer kits for them to take home. Might be fun to have a yearly "cleaning" day where everyone can dump their unwanted stuff - she has cleaned me out and it felt liberating. We have permission to use the picture - this was from the stuff I gave her in January.
