Today and every day, Lutheran World Relief Quilts and Kits of Care are a reminder to families that even in the midst of crisis, they are not alone.
We are in this together, and we are praying for your health, your provision and your peace. Thank you for being the kind of community that reminds one another that, much like the people we serve, we are not alone.

We need quilts and kits more than ever
We’re thrilled to see that many of you are continuing the work at home. Please keep it up! Not only is making a quilt or kit a beautiful way to love a neighbor when you can’t leave the house, but quilting and kit making can be a relaxing and therapeutic way to spend your time.
Stay connected!
Community is at the heart of everything we do at Lutheran World Relief, so let’s keep building ours. Some ideas:
-
Check in with friends. Pick up the phone and call or FaceTime your quilting group friends or fellow kit makers. Though you can’t be together face-to-face, everyone needs connection and support during this time.
-
Share your quilt projects. We want to see your beautiful handiwork! Encourage and inspire the quilters in our community by taking a photo or video of yourself making a quilt and tagging @luthworldrelief on Facebook. You can also submit it here.
Shipping and warehouse operations
Current operations are as follows:
-
Maryland: We are open and accepting donations, but please call ahead to confirm. All external doors are locked and we are asking donors to leave their donations with donor information -- outside the door or in our White Box Truck.
-
Minnesota: We are open and accepting donations, but please call ahead to confirm. Donors are asked to unload their donations and leave them just inside the delivery door. No assistance with unloading is available. Please note the warehouse is closed on Fridays.
Your love is reaching neighbors in need
Instead of reading another news article about coronavirus, please watch this video and know that EVERY quilt you make or kit you assemble reaches a family in their time of need. In this case, it was Esther Anthony and her son Asaya Erasto Liguda, who are living at Muhimbili National Hospital in Tanzania while Asaya completes treatment for leukemia.
