Community Outreach
Ruth's Closet
Gloria Dei Lutheran Church, where we host our guild meetings, needs sturdy, machine-washable twin-size quilts (approximately 65" x 90") for their Ruth's Closet program.
Ruth's Closet coordinates with local agencies like South Coast Family First to provide essential household items like cleaning supplies, dishware, and small appliances to people who find a new home after experiencing homelessness.
Bring your quilts to the next guild meeting or drop them off at the church during working hours. They have a drop box in the room where we hold our guild meetings. It's on the right as you come into the room, at the base of the large corkboard wall.
Kids' HOPE Center
Kids’ HOPE Center investigates abuse allegations from communities throughout Coos County and beyond. Following the “medical model” of abuse investigations, Kids’ HOPE focuses primarily on meeting the whole health physical and emotional needs of victims.
Most of their clients are under the age of 12. Most are between the ages of 5 and 12, but they also have a need for quilts sized for infants and toddlers.
April is a big fundraising month for the Kids’ HOPE Project, and they hold a benefit auction. They welcome donations of items for auction, including household and decorative items like table runners, throw pillows, etc.
Quilts For Giving
The guild donates quilts to South Coast Hospice. These quilts mean the world to patients in hospice care, and often become treasured family items after the patient passes.
Some of our members meet to sew Quilts for Giving every week at Joan Glasgow’s house, Mondays and Wednesdays from 10AM to 2PM.
