Quilt returns to decorate youth drop-in center
The quilt entitled "A Home for Teens" was won in a raffle last year
- Center provides a safe place for students experiencing homelessness to relax, eat and do homework during the evening
A quilt won last year at High Mountain Youth Project's bed race was donated recently to decorate the drop-in center in Ruidoso for students experiencing homelessness.
Pat and Dave Northington, winners of the quilt created by A Quilting Stitchuation and the Stash Sisters, won at last year’s bed race raffle. They waited for the High Mountain Youth Project's Evening Drop-In Center opening to donate, “A Home For Teens,” to the center.
The Northingtons were joined in the presentation by their granddaughter Kayleigh Rhodes. Accepting the gift for the youth project was volunteer Beth Rabourn, board members Pam Tomlin, Laurie Benavides and Rita Combs.
The quilt will be displayed on the walls of the center on Mechem Drive. The youth project is a volunteer organization dedicated to providing a safe place for teams experiencing homelessness to spend the evening studying and preparing for the next day.
