It's not national. Each guild in this area has a similar program and comfort quilts seems to stick.
Finished quilts are given to organizations to use as needed. Organizations include police for children removed from their homes, women's homes, hospice, nicu at hospitals. Most fabrics are donations from guild members. The leader organizes a group to put kits together with all the fabrics/batt and the pattern. Some quilts are donated, like I do as tops/back/binding. She adds batt and someone else quilts and binds. Then she distributes to the other service organizations. Sometimes a recipient organization sends a representative to the guild to report how they've been used and the reception of the final recipient.
