Outreach is tasked with identifying ways in which the guild can positively impact the community, brighten days, and provide comfort to recipients. This includes creating items such as quilts, walker bags, comfort pillows, and Christmas stockings for nursing home residents. Outreach also involves making Christmas stockings, pillowcases, and comfort bags for foster children, as well as quilts, walker bags, pillowcases, and Quilts of Valor for veterans. Additionally, adoption quilts are created, which include a matching block for the biological mother to help ease a difficult moment for her.
For the local hospitals, quilts are provided to cover isolates in the NICU, bereavement wraps are made, and mother’s hearts are crafted to give premature babies the scent of their mother, aiding their growth and bringing comfort to parents during challenging times.
Furthermore, many guild members engage in knitting or crocheting caps for chemo patients at local cancer treatment centers, as well as preemie caps for babies born prematurely.
