A FOLLOW ME TO DC community project

DAVID HARRIS, TX 06

For any one that has followed my out-of-the-box campaign thus far, I welcome you to become familiar with our community service efforts.  It is difficult running for office for anyone but I was certain that I would use the public forum, while available, to continue something that our family believes wholeheartedly in our own lives every day.  If everyone volunteered an hour a week or contributed $20 a month to a charity, I am confident it would change the world. 

The mission of the QOV Foundation is to cover ALL combat wounded servicemembers whether physical or psychological with wartime quilts called Quilts of Valor (QOVs). The wounded servicemembers from the War on Terror or Long War are to be considered first and foremost.  The second mission is to teach our children how to sew QOVs. This skill will teach sewing skills in addition to becoming civically involved and volunteering for the betterment of our nation.  A natural extension of our mission will be to link up with our coalition countries and see that their combat wounded are also covered. When all is said and done what we are doing is providing a means by which our combat wounded can have a better life. This foundation will do whatever it takes to reach this goal.

We encourage donations to this charity via their site or by mail with tax deductible donations in the forms of cash, fabric, supplies and other needed items. You may email or phone Catherine at cc.roberts@comcast.net  or via phone at 302.236.0230 to find out more about how you can help.
