Our guild has a number of donation projects:
- Cuddle Quilts - go with emergency responders for children experiencing trauma (police, fire)
- ChildCan Quilts - for children undergoing cancer treatments
- Loads of Love - a missionary group that works in the 'stan' countries (Khasikstan, Usbekistan, etc) for orphanages etc
- quilts for families of fallen soldiers
- quiltlets (about 8" x 12") going to soldiers in active duty (they don't have a lot of room for a full quilt, but these small quiltlets can hang over their cots etc, are a small hug to let them know we are thinking of them

We also do an interesting thing with the block of the month program - the ladies running this program this year are asking quilters to make one for themselves and one to donate - and the organizers are putting the donated blocks into quilts for ChildCan.
