ER Hn - 92 The Dallas Post [1] Dallas, PA Wednesday, December 6, 1995 +3 College students distribute 24 blankets “ LY 2 By GRACE R. DOVE Post Staff "DALLAS - When Amy Dun- away heard about a project to ‘help make blankets for AIDS pa- tients, she immediately volun- teered to help sew the crocheted squares together with 16 other young women from College Mis- éricordia. : The first-year student knows several people who have AIDS in her hometown of Baltimore. “One was just diagnosed,” she said. “They're allin their mid 20's.” “~The blankets were a coopera- tive effort between the college camipus ministry's Salt and Light Ministry, friends and residents of The Meadows and The High Mead- ows apartments. The 40 senior citizens knitted or crocheted the squares, which the students then sewed together into bright, warm blankets the perfect size to snuggle into. Each of the 24 blankets, as- sembled by the students in a sort of old-fashioned quilting bee, sports a heart-shaped tag con- taining the words, “We care.” The students will deliver them to AIDS patients at the Wilkes-Barre General Hospital and clients of the St. Vincent DePaul Soup Kitchen. The entire project was organ- ized by Salt and Light coordina- tors Niki Curyk and Cassandra Mitchell. “People with AIDS worry more about their families than them- selves,” Amy said. “It's really hard : Tending to the feast, from left, Peggy Broscius, Alicia Darr, : Roseanne Zelimba and Stephanie Moyer.

J on the families.” “The amount of people who gave up time from their studies to become involved is really wonderful,” said Father Michael Bryant. “It's also very appropriate that the blankets were collected on International AIDS Awareness Day (December 1), which we're observing on campus.” Making blankets for AIDS pa- tients is an offshoot of the AIDS Quilt, a traveling living memorial to AIDS patients, with squares made by the patients’ families and friends. It grew and spread across the country by word of mouth, eventually including the needs of homeless people and clients of women's shelters.
