• 8 quilts donated to Kid's Kottage of Reno. They are set up to manage up to 45 kids, currently they have kids ranging from 3 -17 years old. The Court system places kids there once they are removed from their homes and before they go to a formal foster home. 

• 16 quilts donated to Renown Children's Services, NICU and PICU.

  • Neonatal (NICU) Quilts need to be 36 x30 and all cotton. Can be bound or enveloped.

  • Pediatric ICU (PICU) will take all sizes but they are in need of quilts that are not baby since they have a hard time for the older adults.

• Project Linus is a worldwide organization that provides handmade blankets to children 0-18 who are seriously ill, traumatized, or otherwise in need. All Project Linus blankets are hand-made by volunteers, donated to local chapters, and primarily distributed within the same communities where they were donated. Sierra Sew and Vac is still accepting quilts for Project Linus.  Project Linus has designated size preferences: 

  • Minimum 36" x 36" for infants

  • 40" x 60" most requested
