Dream Big Little One is a non-profit organization which seeks to provide beds for children in need in the area and the surrounding communities. Before the meeting started, Walker also presented Watson with a trunk load of handmade pillowcases, quilts, bedding, and stuffed animals — much of it made by the ladies in the Little Balkans Quilt Guild.
