Letters to Our Community – Monument Hill Kiwanis awards grant to Quilts of Valor

The Monument Hill Kiwanis Club Board of Directors recently awarded a grant of $500 to the Colorado Springs Quilts of Valor group. The Quilt of Valor Foundation has chapters throughout the county. The group’s mission is to honor service members and veterans who have been touched by war with a comforting and healing Quilt of Valor. A Quilt of Valor is a quality, handmade quilt that is machine or hand-quilted. It is awarded to a service member or veteran who has been touched by war. The quilt says unequivocally, “Thank you for your service and sacrifice in serving our nation.”

With the support of the Monument Hill Kiwanis, our local chapter will continue to be able to construct quilts to be awarded to nominees. We gratefully appreciate the Kiwanis’ generosity as we continue to award comforting and healing quilts.
