My Nonprofit Reviews

In February 2022 I was watching a story on WFAA about a retired couple that had many years of quilting under their needles. As a beginner quilter I watched as they talked about an organization called Day1 Bags that they were partnering with to make quilts for those kids that were aging out of foster system. They were reaching out and challenging Quilt Guilds and individual quilters to help this wonderful nonprofit make enough quilts to give one to every senior that was graduating in the foster system. This challenge took place in October 2021 for the Seniors in May 2022. I was looking for something that I could do with my new talent. In February 2022 they already had enough quilters signed up to make the 622 quilts needed. So when they opened registration for making quilts For 2023 I signed up. So this graduation will be my first year of participating but will continue each year. This is an awesome organization that continues to grow and provide support to our Texas foster system.
