The Quilts of Valor Foundation provides service members and veterans with homemade quilts. The local Buntin-Rumford-Webster Chapter of Daughters of the American Revolution was going to create a Quilt of Valor to award in December to a WWII veteran, but due to COVID-19 they can’t meet in person. They decided to show a YouTube video about Quilts of Valor for their June meeting since their Humanities to Go program was cancelled. I am impressed with how our communities are transitioning to still bring programming to their audiences in new and different ways. You can watch the video here .
