Milford Valley Quilters Deliver Quilts To Veterans Home In Scranton In an effort to thank Veterans for their service, members of the Milford Valley Quilters Guild made another delivery of bed quilts to the Gino Merli Veterans home in Scranton, PA, and more are on the way. Thus far, the guild has donated 180 bed quilts to the Gino Merli home. Many thanks are extended to Vet Stock for their very generous donation to help offset the cost of supplies needed to make these quilts. This community service is an ongoing project run by “Golden Hands”, which is an extension of the Milford Valley Quilters Guild. Anyone interested in making bed quilts for veterans are invited to come to the Delaware Township Building on Mondays between 10a.m. and 3 p.m. No experience required, just bring your lunch and the coffee is always on!
