Community Outreach
We are proud of our community outreach programs. Volunteers coordinate these projects and occasionally hold quilting bees and/or assemble kits for work at home. The quilting bees are usually held at the Mannheim Community Centre. Click Mannheim Community Centre for directions.
For information about these special ongoing projects click on the mini quilts by their names. If you would like to contact any of the organizers, you will find their contact information in our Members' Handbook or email the guild at waterloocountyqg@gmail.com. Your message will be forwarded to the appropriate person.

For several years guild members have made place-mats for our local Meals on Wheels. Often those place-mats were reversible, celebrating a special holiday or two. Additional causes in which members of the guild often participate are Project Linus, Victoria Quilts and Quilts of Valour.
The Caring Connection group meets monthly at Creative Sisters Quilt Studio to sew quilts for charity. Donated fabrics are used to complete the quilts, which may go to MCC Relief Sale, PAL, as well as other local venues. Contact Judy Siegner for more information
The guild and its members are always open to supporting charitable organizations. To reach us please go to our Contact Us page.
