One woman started volunteering — making cloth bags and quilts — after hearing that children taken into the foster care system are removed from their homes with a little bit of nothing, and that in a black plastic bag.  A group of women, on learning about this, started making cloth bags for foster children and filled them with socks, underwear and toothbrushes. 

The women now meet in an empty room in an old school building and make bags and quilts.  They have decided that every child taken into foster care will be given a quilt of their own.  As they made more and more quilts they have branched out and now give quilts to the neighboring region of the state and to all the boys at an adolescent group home every Christmas.
