Jane Fields embodied in action the wonderful example of giving and loving others. She learned and had the great skill of quilting and making blankets. It was no doubt that if there was a new baby born in the home or the occurrence of a life event, such as graduating from high school or a wedding, a personalized quilt or blanket made of love would be a gift. Within our community and in surrounding counties, there were many who came forward to the family after her passing away, expressing their sentiments for having been a recipient of her labor of love. We know there are many who could benefit from a “blanket of love” or a covering during a time of hardship as they assume stability in their lives and get back on their feet. The following program named “Grandma Jane’s Blanket Program” has the purpose of mirroring this gesture by providing supportive housing, financial, education and career counseling, and home ownership classes for those unhoused within the age group of 18 to 21 years old.
