We are
committed to making quilts to provide comfort and warmth to those in
need. Through the years and the tremendous Community Services
leadership and dedicated volunteers like you, we have made hundreds
of quilts which we donate to various organizations and agencies such
as oncology units at hospitals, breast cancer treatment centers,
Habitat for Humanity, and hospice. We make a large yearly
donation of 66 quilts to the Royal family Kids Camp, which provides
quality week-long outings for foster children in the Puget Sound
area. We have also donated dozens of quilts to non-profit
organizations to use as raffle quilts to raise funds for their
use. Community Service has a small budget to purchase those
supplies that are not donated by Guild members. Guild members
generally donate fabrics and batting. The Committee puts
together kits to sew, as well as tops to quilts to bind. They
meet during the day at least monthly at someone's home or at a local
quilt shop to work on the quilts. They generally do not meet
in summer. Members are encouraged to make and donate quilts on
their own. See the Community Service Chairperson for general
size needs.
