Quilt of Compassion

Parkland Saint John

A unique piece of artistry and compassion was recently displayed in Saint John, New Brunswick. Together, eight residents provided a 10×10 knitted square before combining the squares to create a beautiful blanket. The knitting club then sold tickets to raffle the blanket to raise money for the local food bank. The knitting club’s goal was to raise $500, but their efforts ended up bringing in double that amount – $1,012, just in time for Thanksgiving! Congratulations to the winner, Kaitlyn Bevans, and thanks to everyone who purchased tickets and helped raise money for such an important cause.
