Habitat
Pat Bacon, Family Support Coordinator for Habitat for Humanity, cannot express enough the joy the quilts distributed to families mean to the family. One recipient wrapped herself in the quilt and said "This quilt makes me feel so good." Another recepient, who had been in the hospital, was speechless when presented with a quilt. Her grandmother had made her a quilt but it was lost in a fire. It was obvious to Pat that this quilt would have a special meaning to her.

These are retained for re-use.
These covers provide darkness and act as a sound barrier.
They make the ICU more "homey".
They provide privacy for babies and families.
