Quilts, layettes and dresses among items destined to support refugeesQuilters at Mount Olive Lutheran Church with items they crafted in 2016 to help those in poverty-stricken countries. The members have recently finished another bounty of items that will be shipped to Africa. (Contributed photo)An annual effort to make and ship quilts and clothing items to poverty-stricken countries has resulted in a bounty of support for refugees in Mauritania, North Africa. Most of the local work is done during Tuesday-morning gatherings at the 148 Street church in South Surrey, while some volunteers craft their contributions at home. Last year, the group made 135 full-size quilts, 73 baby quilts, 75 baby layettes and 43 girls’ dresses for the M’bera refugees.
