Studies have shown that persons receiving home bound meals (similar to Meals on Wheel) feel motivated to eat meals on a more regular basis if they have an attractive place setting.
CHEER
has been serving Sussex County since 1971 and provides over 230,000 meals annually to eligible home bound seniors in Sussex County. This vital service ensures that no senior in Sussex County goes hungry.
|
|
|
As quilters, we can support the meal program and these seniors. Use up your scraps or other fabrics that you often wondered why you purchased and make placemats! Perhaps you'd like to attend a free
Sit & Sew
and make placemats! 60% of home bound meals are delivered to men so please keep this in mind while sewing the placemats.
Our goal is to provide 1200 placemats this year. Please join us in our effort to make our seniors feel remembered and cared for by making placemats that are approximately 12” x 16” or 14” x 18”.
Drop off your completed placemats at the shop.
If you want more information or have questions about this project, please call the shop (302)732-6304.
