Service & Donation Quilts
As a Guild, part of our mission is to provide quilts to comfort our community. We currently provide quilts for the following:
- Quilts of Valor (made by a very dedicated team and given to local veterans
- Peace Island Cancer Care, Pike Place pre-school (a pre-school for the working poor)
- Family Resource Center, and comfort quilts for local families who have experienced a traumatic loss.
- Local Head Start Childcare program
In the Pre-Covid era, we maintained a chart for quilt donations that is kept at the Mullis Center. Use it to sign up to donate a quilt(s). The chart allows us to have a visual idea of how many quilts are being made, and what areas need more donations. Until some new normal returns, please contact either Susan Leff or Shauna Rand (contact info below) to let them know you have a quilt to donate.

See below for more information boxes about sizing and uses for our comfort quilts program:
–Healing/ Comfort quilts- should be ‘lap size’; large enough to cuddle under but not bed size. These quilts are either donated for cancer care patients at Peace Island or they have been given in special circumstances to individuals in our community who have suffered a major traumatic, life-changing, event. We need quilts for both genders.
–Pike Place Day Care Service Quilts: These will be given to 4-year-olds and a few babies, so should be approximately 42” x 54”. Measurements are not absolute but let's be sure they are usable.
–Baby Quilts: Resource Center Service Quilts, and the Baby Room at Pike PlaceBaby quilts approximately 36” square can be turned in and will be donated for distribution to new San Juan Island infants and to babies in the baby room at Pike Place…”
