Volunteers, who participated in sew-ins sponsored by Safe Alternatives for Everyone, create quilts carried in Murrieta Police Department vehicles for use by children or others in need during police activity. Wrapped in protective plastic in the trunks of Murrieta police cars are quilts made by a group of volunteers who donated their time, fabric and talent to give comfort to children in distress, victims of accidents and crimes, and rescued pets. The quilts are provided to the Police Department by volunteers who participated in the Safe Alternatives For Everyone sew-ins held in March and mid-May at the Murrieta Public Library. The group of volunteers made more than 40 quilts, which are being kept in the police vehicles for anyone who needs comfort during an emergency situation, Niles said. The quilts have been made from material thrown in by donors, but more fabric will be needed as children and victims claim their quilts. A group of volunteers sews quilts that are kept in the vehicles of the Murrieta and Temecula police officers.
