Quilt represents “something positive out of something that wasn’t”

450 unused covid masks were repurposed into a quilt that represents a nice piece of history. Many volunteers donated masks to Valley Senior Living at the start of the COVID pandemic in 2020 when personal protective equipment was scarce.

Valley Senior Living reach out to the crafters at Family of God Church and they created a unique, one-of-a-kind heirloom. Pastor Gretchen Graf, Kim Cariveau, Patti Medal, Nancy Robison and Victoria Swift turned the masks in a 65 x 87 inch quilt that was raffled at the Valley Senior Living’s “Around Our Table” fundraising event. The quilt raised $1,140 for Chaplaincy Ministry program!
