Who We Are
Most of the members of Angels 4 Warmth are seniors who enjoy knitting, crocheting and quilting because it gives them something to do, and because it’s a way to contribute to their community.
The monthly meetings are also an enjoyable social event. “It’s rewarding,” says Arlene Kenville. “It makes you feel good—and it makes the people who receive the warm clothing feel good.”The gifts of warmth are greatly appreciated by those who receive them.
