Welcome to the Philadelphia Chapter. We hope you’ll join us this year to help children feel better to heal better.

MILES OF PILLOWCASE SMILES!

A HUGE thank you to our amazing Philadelphia volunteers who took our Miles of Pillowcase Smiles event to new heights! Together, we created 1,866 pillowcases— 693 sewn at home and 1,173 finished during yesterday’s event. Your dedication and passion will bring countless smiles to children and families. We couldn’t have done it without every one of you—thank you for your hard work, creativity, and heart!

 

Thank you Calico Cutters Quilt Guild members for a memorable Charity Sew Day on January 10th. We had so much fun sewing pillowcases to comfort children in Philadelphia hospitals. Thank you for all of your help and your beautiful sewing skills.  We completed 100 pillowcases that will be processed for delivery!

What a remarkable day!

Thank you to EVERYONE who came out to support Team Oliver’s 5th Annual Pillowcase Sew Day on January 15th. We had an amazing turn out of all ages and all abilities. The grand total at the end of the day, was 560 completed pillowcases for tweens and teens in Philadelphia hospitals! We are grateful for your participation. Thank you!!

Delivery day is a large undertaking in every chapter. Thanks to the generosity of Nick and Nancy of Mastroieni Furniture in Montgomeryville, our precious cargo gets safely transported into Philadelphia. Each month, they load the company van with cartons of pillowcases and deliver to CHOP, St. Christopher’s, Shriners, and Einstein, This December, we packed 2,256 pillowcases including Christmas, Hanukah and everyday whimsical themes, as well as 48 sibling coping boxes to our health care facilities. It warms our hearts to think about the smiles these goodies will bring to children in the hospital over the holidays.
