DCMQG is excited to partner with Homes Not Borders and Welcome Blanket to collect donated quilts to share with refugees and other migrants who are new to the DMV as a sign of welcome and care.
Donations of quilted wall art, throw pillows, or twin-sized blankets will be excepted until March 16 in order to participate in a display at CREATE Arts Center in Silver Spring from March 22-April 12. From there, items will be donated to Homes Not Borders for families they are supporting. DCMQG will host a Quilt Show opening celebration at CREATE Arts Center: March 22 (afternoon)
914 Silver Spring Ave, Silver Spring, MD 20910
Please note that quilts should not depict living things such as animals or people for cultural sensitivity and should not include baby blankets, per the agency request.
