To the editor:

The Children’s Place Child Advocacy Center would like to publicly thank the women from the Valley’s churches of Latter-day Saints for their overwhelming generosity. As part of their 2009 Wasilla Alaska Stake Women’s Conference, the women made 148 quilts and blankets, and this huge donation was delivered to The Children’s Place last week. We are humbled and impressed by the amount of time, talent, energy and caring that went into this project. Children are seen at The Children’s Place when there is a concern of sexual abuse or serious physical abuse. Every child leaves The Children’s Place with a blanket or quilt that has been donated by a caring community member. This amazing contribution from the LDS women of the Valley will reach far and wide to the vulnerable children of our community. On behalf of our child clients, thank you very much.
