Threads of Love - San Antonio has experienced dramatic growth since its inception in 1999.  Not only have the number of volunteers increased steadily, but more importantly, the number of items produced for our premature babies.  In the year 2000 a total of 1,434 items were produced and distributed to hospitals and care centers.  By the grace of God, in 2003 more than 18,300 items were produced.  And last year (2005) the incredible number of items distributed to hospitals and care centers exceeded 29,000.  As you review the items we prepare for the babies and their families, we invite you to consider how you might join us in this ministry.
