IN 2008 our members donated over 200 quilts to a variety of charities!

Our members are continually making baby quilts and youth quilts which are donated to the Children's Resource Center (CRC) in Bowling Green, Ohio.  This is a local agency whose services include helping young teenage mothers.  Sometimes these hand made quilts are the only gifts these mothers receive. 

We also donate quilts to The Cocoon, a shelter for women and children who are dealing with domestic abuse.  On a more limited basis, we have also donated to Ronald McDonald house, the Wood County Historical Society, St. Vincent's Hospital - Children's Palliative Care Unit, Quilts for Heroes from the Heartland (American Veterans) and Project Linus.

Each member is asked to make one baby quilt and one youth quilt or two baby quilts or two youth quilts (two quilts total). Sometimes we work as a group, sewing and tying these quilts.
