Staff of the Iroquois Community & Social Services Center on hand to receive the quilts were (lt-rt): Marilyn Schaumburg, Carol Jefferson, Brandi Beckman, Karry Hines, Kimberly Navas, Kim Bithos and Ellen McCullough.

WATSEKA, ILLINOIS-Ellen McCullough, MSW, Director, and the staff of the Iroquois Community Health & Social Services Center, were the recent proud recipients of beautiful infant/child sized quilts. "The Quilters of the Trinity Lutheran Church, Cissna Park, have made and donated quilts to the programs for many years," said Ellen. The handmade quilts are of child prints and colors.

"It warms our hearts when we are able to provide a child a much needed quilt, which would not be possible without the love and compassion of the ladies from the Trinity Lutheran Church," added Ellen.

Infants and Children participating in the Women, Infants, and Children (WIC), Family Case Management (FCM) and Healthy Families Illinois (HFI) programs will receive the quilts on an as needed basis.
