Christie M, Vice President of FHQ, applied for a grant from Colorado Quilting Council and Firehouse Quilts received a generous amount of $500.00 from them. The grant was awarded for the purpose of buying batting and supplies, and paying overhead expenses. It is because of this grant and several grants in the past from CQC that Firehouse Quilts is given the opportunity to continue with their mission of making quilts for children and adults in crisis. The following kind words from Colorado Quilting Council are appreciated by the FHQ membership, “You have accepted a commendable mission and we applaud and admire your dedication and enthusiasm in providing quilts to so many people that need them. ”
