Delta Makes Quilts
for Children
On April 17, Delta Air Lines employees presented more than 1,200 quilts they had made to the Primary Children's Medical Center in Salt Lake City, Utah. The project began seven years ago, when Delta employees turned their flight attendant lounge into a quilt factory where they could sew between flights. That year, they made 335 quilts. Now the project has grown to include the entire Delta team and their families, and the number of quilts has nearly quadrupled.
Delta, Salt Lake City's hometown airline, is proud to support the medical center, which has a long-standing tradition of providing quilts for children in their care. When some kids are discharged, according to Sharon Goodrich, the center's director, they have often grown attached to their quilts, and they take them home to put on their beds. delta.com.
