Local Volunteers gathered at the John McMillan Presbyterian Church for a charitable event to help children in foster care.

Members of the Ruthfred Acres Woman’s Club once again demonstrated the power of community and compassion. This year, the club’s dedicated crafters joined forces to create 60 cozy blankets, each lovingly made for children in foster care.

The project came together when club members, under the expert organization and direction of member Julianne (‘Juli’) Klara, spent hours cutting fabric, knotting, and labeling each blanket. The work was both a labor of love and a testament to the club’s ongoing commitment to helping those in need.

“We wanted to do something special for children in foster care, to let them know that they are cared for and thought of,” said Juli. “Every blanket is made with love, and we hope it brings comfort to every child who receives one.”

The distribution of the blankets has been carefully planned as well. A portion will be delivered to the Blair Foundation in Castle Shannon, ensuring children in that community benefit from the club’s efforts. The balance of the blankets will be provided for the Foster Love Project in Wilkinsburg. For the club, these handmade gifts represent more than warmth; they are a symbol of hope, community, and the enduring spirit of giving.
