Pet Bed Project
Don't forget to collect any small scraps from your cutting table. Use them to stuff pet beds for our local no kill shelter. Scraps of fabric can be put into an old pillowcase or something you have made from your fabric stash. Fill the case loosely then sew end shut. Bring it to our Monthly meeting for our Charity committee to take to the no kill shelters.
Quilts for Charity
Charity Quilts are collected at our monthly meeting. Quilts donated are delivered to Metro Police Department, Fisher House for families that are visiting hospitalized Veterans at the VA Hospital here in Vegas. Isolette Covers are also donated to the NICUs at Area Hospitals. Donations of unfinished tops, UFO Blocks and Batting are also welcome.
This Quarter we are participating in the Pad Project for girls in Africa.
Homeless Teen Project
School Supplies, Toiletry items, laundry soap and other grooming aids are collected at the monthly meetings. Also, nonperishable food items that can be carried in backpacks, such as fruit roll ups, pop top cans of fruit, pudding cups, instant oatmeal and granola bars are appreciated. Items go to Project 150 to be distributed to over 6,000 homeless high school students in over 58 schools in Southern NV.
