Hello and thank you for your interest in Quilts for Japan.

We are a group comprised of quilters and caring individuals trying to make a difference in the lives of Japan’s victims after its recent devastation. The group is based in Calgary, Alberta with members from the west coast of British Columbia as far away as Tokyo. We share one thing in common and that is the urgent call to action to assist these people who have suffered so much and will continue to in the years ahead.

The group started out on Facebook and quickly grew and spread to the internet. As a result of social networking, charitable organizations such as ours have the good fortune of bringing our cause to the awareness of countless individuals.

We are not a registered charity as the group was launched quickly by a quilter who knows that quilters for centuries before, have quilted to tell their stories, warm their loved ones and to comfort their sick and dying.  Her belief was that surely there could be no greater cause for quilters than to assist the thousands of homeless in Japan.

Your interest in Quilts for Japan is so greatly appreciated. Without kind and caring individuals such as you we could never have hoped to realize our goal of bringing warmth, comfort and hope to Japan's victims who continue to struggle daily without the basic necessities of life. The devastation in Japan will require the ongoing commitment and assistance of the world for years to come.

Our quilt donations reached the victims in Japan through our partnership with Global Samaritan Resources of  Abilene, Texas, CRASH Japan, Tundra Process Solutions, Griffin Logistics of Calgary, Alberta and Creative Edge Corporation of Fairfield, IA. As a result of the combined efforts of these organizations, Quilts for Japan offered free shipping of our donations for quilters throughout North America  to Japan. Although this phase of our relief efforts for the people of Japan has concluded, we  remain committed to bringing hope and healing to the people of Japan.
