Krazy Quilters

Our own Krazy Quilters are part of a world wide Lutheran outreach team that are helping those in need. Most of our quilts built here at Central Lutheran Church are sent to the Lutheran World Relief (LWR) organization. From their warehouses, LWR decides where the need is greatest for quilts made lovingly by the various Lutheran congregations.

Often, when natural disasters strike or war drives families from their homes, our hearts ache with compassion but we don’t know how to help. Making Lutheran World Relief Mission Quilts is a tangible way to express love to our neighbors in need. Quilts can be used as warm bedding, simple tents or floor coverings. Each one reflects God's loving presence in a world rife with suffering. 

LWR distributed its first quilts in 1945 to families in war-torn Europe following the Second World War. Within a decade, the ministry was reaching around the globe to villages far removed from the world’s attention. Today, an average of 300,000 quilts are lovingly given worldwide each year. Over this past year, a good number of our CLC quilts are headed to Ukrainian migrants who have fled to Poland.

LWR Mission Quilts create a tangible, lasting bond between the people who lovingly assemble them, and our neighbors around the world, who receive quilts in their greatest times of need.
