Have you ever wanted to do something
meaningful with your hobby? Some times I quilt just for the fun of it.
If you would like to do something special with one of your quilts why
not consider donating it to a great charitable cause?
The links on this page will take you
to some wonderful charitable organizations that would love to have a
quilt donated to them. They offer special programs just for that
purpose.
Cage Comforter
Program
Cage Comforter Program"
enlists volunteers to make small comforters for the cats, kittens and
small dogs under its care. The comforters not only ease the stress of
the homeless animals, many of whom have been abused, abandoned and
traumatized, they also help to ease the transition when the animals
are adopted since they take their comforters with them to their new
homes. In addition, its been shown that the comforters actually help
boost adoptions since the animals appear to be more adoptable lying on
their colorful little beds instead of crouched in shredded newspapers.
During the two years following the initiation of the program,
volunteers from all over the country provided approximately 10,000
beds and 10,000 toys for these homeless animals. For more information

kennel floors and cages. For more information, on the Snuggles project

Quilting Angels
 The
Quilting Angles site has some very dedicated Angels that have come
together through common bonds; a love for children and a love of
quilts. We are very blessed that they share their talents to help make
some very sick and sometimes terminally ill children happy.
The Angels put their hearts and souls into the making of each and
every quilt. Every stitch is made with love. The quilts are made with
a particular child in mind. They are created based on the child's
interests, hobbies, or maybe even just their favorite color. No two
quilts are alike.
Visit with the children and hear their stories. They are certain that
you will fall in love with them just as much as we did. If you are
moved to help, please sign up. These beautiful children can never have
enough Angels looking over them. The only mission at Quilting Angels
is to bring a smile to a child's face, who too often have seen dark
moments. For more information please visit them at
