Memo: Operation Kid Comfort

Created at Ft. Bragg/Pope Air Force Base in Fayetteville, N.C. in 2004, this ministry is designed to address the emotional stress that children of military personnel suffer during a parent's absence from home. It serves children, ages 5 and under, of deployed service members.

Learn to quilt, assist with ironing or cutting out the fabric. have a great time in fellowship as well as serving.

Volunteers collect photographs from military families to make "photo-transfer" quilts that bear the images of the deployed family member, alone or interacting with the family. With the help of local quilting artists, volunteers are taught the basic steps of quilt-making, how to crop and scan pictures, preparation of the fabric, and use of equipment.

Photographs of the deployed parent are scanned into a computer, printed, and then placed onto the fabric. The quilt is then given to the child to play with, sleep with, or use to comfort them from the grief of missing their deployed parent.

For more information, please or call her at 703-378-6315.
