Tens of thousands of volunteers make quilts to be donated to hospitals, shelters and emergency services all over the country. Hundreds of thousands of quilts have been given to children since the charity began in 2000 when one woman, Linda Arye, had a vision and started the organization out of her house. Quilts for Kids boasts approximately 90 chapters in the U.S. and Canada. Quilt kits are sent out upon request for volunteers to sew, quilt and ship back to headquarters in Fairless Hills, PA.
