NEWBERN, Tenn.- A local group of seniors is tackling the growing issue of meth in their Dyer County community, one quilt at a time. Every Wednesday, a group of senior volunteers gather to make quilts and stuff bags with personal items for local children taken from their homes because of meth-related crimes. So far more than 60 bags have been donated to the Dyer County Department of Children’s Services. “The stitches that have been put into that quilt and that bag is going to ease the pain when they’re taken from their home,” said Carolyn Finley, director of RSVP, the group that makes the quilts. Taking a break only to eat a potluck lunch, the ladies are hard at work from 8 in the morning to 2 in the afternoon. “I hope it helps the kids out and encourage them to do better,” said Shirley Criswell, a volunteer. You can find more information about donating items by going to our Seen on 7 section of www.wbbjtv.com.
