Meet the 'Patchwork Ladies' who craft blankets for a good cause
OAKS, Pennsylvania (WPVI) -- 50 years ago, women at Green Tree Church of the Brethren started making items for those in need.
Today, they are known as the 'Patchwork Ladies.'
The group consists of retirees roughly aged between 80 and 90 years old. They meet every Wednesday from September to May.
They mostly produce blankets and bags that can be draped over walkers for seniors. They make donations to local organizations including nursing homes, childrens' hospitals, pregnancy centers, veterans' hospitals, and more.
Most products are created using recycled and donated materials such as curtains, jeans, and spare cloth. The ladies rely on donations to stock their supply.
Donations are made around October each year.
