Welcome Home Workshop
These workshops, sponsored and housed by the Palm Beach County Quilters' Guild, provide a learning environment in which members hone their skills while making a tribute to local, hard-working Habitat for Humanity of Palm Beach partner families.
Welcome Home quilts are presented at the home dedication ceremonies to new partner families as they receive the keys to their safe, affordable new homes that they purchase from Habitat for Humanity of Palm Beach, Florida. Each quilted wall-hanging is personalized with the family's name and house number. Guild members make and present 25-30 quilts a year at all dedication ceremonies. It is an honor to recognize the hard work and dedication that the partner families exhibit through the long process to quality for, contribute their 400+ community service hours, take the required home finance and home maintenance courses, and save for their closing costs and mortgage payments. The Palm Beach County Quilters' Guild, Inc. will assist any other group or guild that wants to initiate a similar partnership with their local Habitat for Humanity affiliates. |
