The Trinity Lutheran Church Quilters have done it again; creating a lovely quilt to be raffled off at this year’s Harvest Party.

This year’s queen-size quilt is a cheery strawberry motif.

The quilt is on display at the Langley Thrift Store.

Raffle tickets are available at all Good Cheer sites: The Thrift Stores in Langley and Clinton and the Food Bank and distribution Center in Bayview.

The quilting group from Trinity Lutheran Church have been very active in the community. They recently donated a beautiful rose-print quilt to help support the efforts of a local community group with the desire to establish a youth shelter on Whidbey Island. Ryan’s House is a proposed youth shelter that will be designed to house middle and high school aged students in need of a safe place to stay on an emergency or temporary basis.

The focus of the shelter is to provide support for the families.  It is hoped that this support along with, encouragement, education and mediation will help the students and their parents regain their home environment.

“Homelessness effects not only families and single adults, but also young students on their own who are trying to stay in school and sometimes hold down a job at the same time,” said Lori Cavender, who’s spearheading the group to create Ryan’s House.

We at Good Cheer applaud the help that the Trinity Lutheran Quilters provide and we wanted to highlight some of the other organizations that they are involved in.

Good Cheer!
