Cuddle Quilts

An on-going program benefitting Child Protective Services. Quilts
are made and donated by Guild members and given to children
removed from difficult home situations in hopes of providing some
warmth and comfort. These quilts are often the first thing a child
receives during this time of separation.

Quilts are also given throughout the year to families in need due to
illness and loss.

In cooperation with the National Quilts of Valor Foundation (qovf.org)
patriotic quilts are sent to military hospital Chaplains for blessing and
then given to wounded service men and women. Our goal is to show
the brave young men and women how much their sacrifice and service
is appreciated and to provide comfort, love and healing to those who
have given so much.
