Just before Christmas, I took several bags of our blankets to a contact, Rita Armanious, in Marrickville. She and 10 other volunteers help people in need through the Panayia Soumela Sydney organisation. While they have many and varied roles, the areas that they work with are for seniors in nursing homes, financially disadvantaged people and their families, people with chronic illness and those with disabilities.
Our blankets give warmth and comfort. This time they particularly focused on children’s blankets as well as the colourful and beautiful quilts we normally make. Their clients delight in the creative and bright patchwork and it provides a topic of conversation too. The Panayia Soumela Society were very appreciative of all our hard work and send a big thank you to WBFE.
We would like to say a huge thank you to everyone who came on Saturday to our event Ladle & Crust. Your support and generosity really helps WBFE to continue creating blankets for those in need.
It was such a marvellous event and it wouldn't have been possible without the cleverness and effort of the Wednesday AM ladies, families, sponsors and the support of the Fundraising Committee.
