We are helping Butterfly Haven with several needs for their closet that helps families with children newly entering foster care as well as families in crisis. For the summer months they are not as busy and their needs are much less. They would like to get the remaining quillows and receiving blankets. (updated 6/24/24)

1. Baby Items-Receiving Blankets. These are to help families with babies either in foster care or families in crisis that have lost everything. 

2. Quillow - This fun blanket transforms into a pillow! Easy to make and handy for kids.
