This year Engle, with help from Nelson and another resident, donated 142 handmade quilts to the Hermiston Police Departmentâs Christmas Express to give to families in need for Christmas.
They also donated about 60 more earlier in the year to Made to Thrive and Umatilla Morrow County Head Start, and residents of Desert Sage made and gave away more than 9,000 cloth masks this year.
