Quilt of Hope

AIDS Programs South Saskatchewan is launching a quilt project to recognize those involved in the fight against HIV/AIDS. Individual quilt pieces of 1’ X 1’ may be purchased at a cost of $20. Those wishing to contribute to the quilt may provide their own finished quilt square (ensuring that there is a 1” seam allowance around the entire square) or you may choose to provide the message and a volunteer will make the square for you. Finished quilts will be about 4’ X 4’ and each completed panel will “match” the other panels. A tax receipt will be issued for each quilting piece purchased. APSS Clients are encouraged to provide one quilt panel each at no charge.

All proceeds from this project will support the Jerome Nagel/ Ric Ranger Wellness Fund of AIDS Programs South Saskatchewan. This fund provides financial assistance to clients of the APSS Living Positive Program for any health care related expenses not covered by the provincial health plan or any other agency. Jerome Nagel and Ric Ranger left this legacy to assist individuals living with HIV/AIDS.

The Quilt of Hope will be an ongoing project of AIDS Programs South Saskatchewan, with the 1^st panels will be unveiled at the World Aids Day event on December 1
