Sew Powerful Purse

We have a very active and productive community service side to our guild opportunities.  The members of the committee and our membership support many different types of organizations.  We have had wonderful support from our membership in supplying The Painted Turtle Camp with several requested items such as:

• turtle pillows and small quilts to return home with the campers as a reminder of their week of summer fun
• take home quilts for siblings on the family weekends
• the many single bed quilts that are washed each week to get ready for the newest group of campers to visit
• quilts that adorn the walls and cover equipment through the location

Other groups we support but not limited to:

• Senior Center in Newhall: lap quilts, placemats, shawls, wheel chair quilts (click the link below for more information)
• VA hospital in West Los Angeles: quilts to returning vets
• Veterans Housing: quilts for the beds
