Let's Wrap Up 2021.

Despite all the Covid lockdowns this year seems to have passed quickly and it's time to finalize the amount of donations that we've achieved with Oz Comfort Quilts. 
For 2021 we have donated 753 quilts, 433 Santa Sacks,  79 knitted/crocheted blankets,  205 hand knitted jumpers/cardigans,  260 rescued teddy bears with their custom made knitted jumpers,  20 knitted teddy bears, 75 pairs of hand knitted booties and children's socks, 437 hand knitted beanies, 102 drawstring bags, and  258 soap pouches which adds up to 2,622 items. As well there were cloth tote bags, library bags, sanitary pad pouches, baby burp cloths, soft toys, clothes and so on.
As you can see we've donated lots of items which have helped lots of disadvantaged families,  domestic violence victims  and children in foster care.  Hopefully it also helped lots of you to get through the isolation of lockdown and use up some of your stash.
I want to sincerely thank you for all of your generous donations and support.  We will be continuing with the same projects for the coming year and in the next day or so, I will post an update of donations we accept and the dimensions of quilts,  bags, Santa Sacks  etc.
Stay safe everyone and let's hope that the coming year is a better one for everyone.  Also take a moment to think about how many people in need you have helped through the year. You have made a difference.
Hugs, Jan Mac xx
