at Appreciation Dinner
Several of the beautiful donated quilts were on display during the event, showcasing the talent and care that goes into each piece. Volunteer Coordinator Geneva Fry personally expressed her gratitude to the group, recognizing the warmth and comfort their quilts bring to patients and families during difficult times.
The Piece Corp’s generosity extends beyond Mercy Health Hospice. The group has also donated quilts to a variety of local organizations, including Remedies, Crusader Community , St. Anne’s, Walter Lawson Children’s Home, River Bluff, and Wesley Willows.
Meeting twice a month on Wednesdays, the Piece Corp welcomes new volunteers—no sewing skills required! Whether you’re experienced with a needle and thread or just looking to give back, the group would love to have you join their mission of providing comfort, one quilt at a time. –
