COMFORTERS & LAYETTES

Thanks to a supportive congregation, we sent 41 complete layettes to the Tree of Life this past week, along with 120 other blankets, comforters and miscellaneous supplies.  So far in 2006, we have sent approximately 120 layettes and more than 400 blankets to TOL.  Layettes (baby kits) are distributed by nurse-midwives based on need.  Blankets are also provided in nursing homes, day care centers and to people with special needs.
