Charity
The Guild is involved in many diverse activities. Among these are making “Comfort” quilts. These are quilts that we donate to organizations that need and use them. Current recipient organizations are: Hospice of Wabash Valley, Red Cross burnout victims, Wounded soldiers and the Union Hospital Nursery and Cancer units.
We have also donated quilts to several organizations including but not limited to Habitat for Humanity, the Salvation Army, the Optimists Club Clothe A Child Auction, the Women, Infants, and Children’s (WIC) program, Crisis Pregnancy Center, Regional Hospital nursery and cancer unit, Riley Hospital, Washington School Nursery, Hamilton Mental Health Hospital, Quilts of Valor, and others. Many of these organizations have raffled the quilts for fund raising activities.
