Philanthropy

---

Philanthropy – sharing comfort and love to others – is a major part of our guild’s mission. Currently we are donating quilts to sick and hurting children through Ronald McDonald House, and our veterans through the VA Homes in Chula Vista and Prescott Arizona. 

Each year we have a Philanthropy Sew-in where we make quilted holiday placemats for Meals-On-Wheels to give their shut-ins as a Christmas gift, and have felt well rewarded when we have heard back how much these senior shut-ins have appreciated this unexpected gift. Our wonderful members make it possible for us to donate approximately 300 placemats a year for this cause!

Each of our members is asked to donate at least one quilt per year to further our philanthropic efforts. Quilt kits are available to members; a group of guild members get together yearly to cut and put these kits together, made from donated fabric. It is a lot of fun, working with so many friendly members, getting to know each other better. Our guild is made up of caring members, helping each other and the community.
