Despite the heat of summer, the River City Quilt Guild is thinking about Christmas and is asking the community to do the same.

Last year, the guild along with the support of community members and Restorative Justice Inmates at Algoa Correctional Center, made 150 handmade stockings that were then donated to the Samaritan Center, SERVE Inc., and the Food Bank of Central and Northeast Missouri.
