POP-UP DONATION DAY JULY 22, 2020
OVQG Pop-up Donation Day
Thank you to everyone that attended the Pop-up Donation Day on July 22nd.
101 fabulous quilts were collected at the day and kindly dropped off ahead of the event. We should now have enough quilts to supply the NICU till the end of September. I have also received quilts that will allow us to supply the West Kelowna Nurse Family Partnership and Kids Count for all of the coming year. They receive the quilts larger or smaller than what the NICU needs.
Here is the link to the video by Global News. Thanks to Claudia VanEmmerik for the videos!
This link from Global News also includes a text of the interview.
The video includes a great section about Margaret Englehert!
