MFS Community Quilt:

Weaving a Stronger Future

Last year’s Annual Report highlighted the theme of cross-generational connection, using quilting as a metaphor for how MFS weaves together people, programs and community.

Inspired by this theme, the Communications team invited all 10 MFS Community Centers to design quilt blocks reflecting their unique perspectives of MFS. This initiative resulted in 15 quilt blocks, handmade by MFS staff and programs, which came together to complete the MFS Community Quilt.
