2. Make a quilt to donate to the Trenton Police Department. 

Create a child‑ or adult‑sized quilt or blanket for the Trenton Police Department to keep in their cruisers for individuals who must wait during a family crisis. Your quilt can offer warmth and a bit of comfort during an especially difficult moment in someone’s life. 

3. Make a Poppy quilt for Hugs from Texas.

"Hugs from Texas" is a volunteer quilt network that creates and donates handmade quilts to families affected by disasters, offering warmth and comfort across Texas and beyond.

The Poppy block directions are on our Facebook group page in the files section.

They accept donated fabric, quilt blocks, tops or completed quilts from all over the world. More information

They also so accept monetary donations here.

4. Work on your own or with another quilter to make a Quilt of Valor for a U.S. veteran or soldier.

 The mission of the Quilts of Valor Foundation is to cover ALL combat service members and veterans touched by war with comforting and healing Quilts of Valor. This foundation is not about politics. It's about people. Anyone may participate in national service by making a comforting Quilt of Valor (QOV) for an American armed services member touched by war.
