Our guild gives to shelters, police and fire department as comfort quilts to those in trouble or need, but one year some were given to a non designated entity. There were those that found out and were troubled that some of the quilts we made were distributed to those who could financially buy them. As a result, there are some members who are not contributing to our community service now. This topic certainly opened up some strong feelings and now I do ask exactly who gets our quilts. I would be happy if my quilt was used as comfort to an animals shelter pet, to someone who is in need because of emotional crisis, or in a police car, or disaster, or sick. I don't believe in giving because it makes someone smile. Just my opinion.
