Mission Statement/Purpose
We are a registered group with the Quilts of Valor® Foundation. The mission of the Quilts of Valor Foundation is to cover service members and veterans touched by war with com-forting and healing Quilts of Valor.
Major Accomplishments
We have awarded hundreds of Quilts of Valor locally, in the surrounding areas of North Carolina and in other states. Men and women active duty military and veterans are quite touched by the honor bestowed by a Quilt of Valor and members of this ministry are equally rewarded by participating in a service to current and former military men and women.

We are quilters who make Quilts of Valor and then present them individually, at group ceremonies or send them to hospitals for presentations by staff.
