Traci Hoglen and Lisa Mundy Bell with the nonprofit group presented the sheriff’s office with 26 machine-quilted, hand bound quilts that deputies will carry in their cars. In the event they are called to a scene where children might need comfort, the quilt can make them feel a little more at ease.
“These quilts will be wrapped around a child — maybe a child who was in a car accident or whose house has burned. The idea these will help children and maybe give them comfort is what really motivated us,” said Hoglen.
