A Special Thank You!

Today we would like to extend our heartfelt gratitude to two very special volunteers, Sherry Whitaker and Kathy Turner.

Through their generosity, talent, and countless hours of dedication, they have donated many beautiful Quilts of Valor to the veterans we serve. These quilts are more than fabric and thread, they are symbols of comfort, appreciation, and a grateful nation's thanks for the sacrifices made by our heroes.

The impact of these gifts reaches far beyond the quilt itself, providing veterans and their families with a meaningful reminder that their service is remembered and honored.

Thank you, Sherry and Kathy, for sharing your time, talents, and compassionate hearts. Your kindness helps us continue Making Every Moment Count for the veterans in our care.

Pictured are just a few beautiful quilts donated by these volunteers. To learn how to volunteer or donate to our Quilts of Valor program please give us a call 606-679-4389 or go online, www.hospicelc.org
