Lakeview Quilters Guild -- Community Service

2008

For the calendar year 2008, our guild will be providing quilts of comfort to three very deserving organizations. Our goal is to receive one quilt from each guild member; we currently have nearly 300 members. The organizations we will provide quilts to are:

The Rose, a non-profit organization that provides breast cancer screening, diagnosis and support.
The Bay Area Turning Point, a local organization devoted to empowering survivors of family violence, sexual assault, and displacement.
Soldiers recuperating at Brooks Army Medical Center in San Antonio, TX.

Our quilts are touched by many hearts and hands throughout their creation. Each month, guild members bring fabric for kits, kits for members to sew, completed tops for quilters to quilt, and quilts that are ready to have the binding applied. Members stop by the community service table during the monthly guild meeting to pick-up or drop-off their contribution to our quilts. Completed quilts are presented to the designated organizations throughout the year.
