QAKH - Quilters Against Kids Hunger
A community project coordinated by EduQuilters for the purpose of raising awareness about kids' hunger in Brevard County AND to assist in raising funds as well as hope for our kids in transition who are without permanent shelter.
Our hope is that we can help families feed the children and put them to bed - under the comfort of quilts.
The first QAKH activity on July 16 produced an awesome 112 quilts for kids in transition. The July 30 quilt-in added 158 more quilts.
Thanks go to the many quilters who are contributing fabric, time, and support. Additional thanks go to the city of Satellite Beach for their use of the Scotty Culp auditorium and to Publix Super Markets for donating snacks and drinks during our quilt-ins.
July 16: 112 QAKH Quilts!
THE BLOCK BUSTER GANG

Our newest sponsor donated Jem Platinum sewing machines to the Kids Quilt Program. These wonderful machines will be used by many children in our area for years to come. Because the machines are portable, volunteers are able to move them from classroom to classroom, and the results are happy, proud faces on students who have learned to sew and make quilts!
