Peardonville House News

by Lorna Steinke

Peardonville House provides recovery and treatment services for women and children (ages 19 and up.)  Since the beginning in 1987, they have provided addiction recovery and treatment services for over 2000 women and children.

For the past four years members of the Abbotsford Quilters'Guild have provided volunteers to teach and assist these women with simple sewing projects such as small quilts, tote bags, cosmetic bags, tote bags and Christmas Stockings.  We meet every Wednesday morning 9:00 am to 11:30 am.    Peardonville House is located at 825 Peardonville Road, Abbotsford.  This project is strictly run by volunteers and donations of items such as batting, mats, cutting blades, thread and monetary donations.  Most importantly we need VOLUNTEERS to come out and help.  You do not have to commit yourself to every Wednesday morning, come out as many times as you can.  Coordinator for this project is Julie Schellenberg.  For more information please give her a call at 604-856-4825 or e-mail dalesch@shaw.ca, or she would be glad to talk with you at the guild meeting.
