The primary purpose of Quilts From Caring Hands is to bring the feeling of loving comfort to at-risk children in Oregon’s Benton, Linn and Marion counties. These include those who are homeless, drug addicted, visually impaired, or abused, and those in foster care. Our quilts are distributed through designated social service agencies.
Each quilt we make for a child is unique. In addition to crib- and twin-sized quilts, we also assemble tactile quilts and “cuddlers” for visually impaired children. The finished quilts and cuddlers are given away once each quarter.
QCH is grateful to our sponsors for their support over the years. Quilts from Caring Hands is a volunteer-powered 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization. All donations are tax deductible.

Improving our journey together.
Join us from 2:30-4 p.m. on the first and third Wednesday of each month at Peace Lutheran Church in Philomath, Oregon.
Loss of cognitive skills and/or memory loss can begin at any age, and this is greatly worsened by social isolation. Dementia and Alzheimer’s disease are NOT “old-person’s diseases!” Statistics show that many people live with dementia, on average, about 10 years before seeking a diagnosis. Early detection gives you time to start self-care and stave off the onset. Knowledge is power!
We welcome differences and work together to be creative in enjoying life while navigating dementia. We offer support and connection to those with dementia and their families with twice-monthly support group meetings, social outings, easy walks, coffee chats and a private Facebook group. Most importantly, we offer hope and a renewed sense of purpose.
Please join your strengths with ours to make a better life. Togetherness is our greatest strength.
