Blankets (and Gowns & Masks) of Love
As many of you know, Blankets of Love is a sewing ministry of Trinity Baptist Church. While the ministry began in 2015, for the past several years, Thelma Martinez and her crew of nearly 20 ladies have been meeting at Trinity Baptist Church to sew double fleece blankets. These blankets are then distributed either personally and individually, or through the nearly 30 different organizations in Amarillo with whom the ministry partners.
In light of the global pandemic and the shortage of personal protective equipment (PPE) in the medical community, Blankets of Love has been asked by the medical community to sew masks and gowns for the Neighborhood ERs. While the ministry has already sewn nearly 300 masks, materials will need to be purchased to meet the request for at least 100 gowns.
Trinity Baptist Church will be purchasing the material so that Blankets of Love can continue to serve the medical community. However, if you are able and willing to volunteer to help make these gowns, Blankets of Love would like to know. Please contact Thelma Martinez at thelma.martinez1947@yahoo.com if you are willing to cut fabric and / or sew material.
Thank you!
Pastor Nate / Thelma Martinez
