Community Activities

WMQG supports many different charities. These are some of the organizations we have been involved with in the past. Many are projects that are on-going and we have supported for many years.

Santa Claus Girls click on their name to learn more at their website.		Each November members donate a new doll and a handmade quilt to the Santa Claus Girls. WMQG donated 376 dolls/quilts in 2010 to be given to area children who are coping with poverty.
The Tie That Binds Anyone wishing to make a personal donation to the Tie That Binds fund should make checks payable to "Spectrum Health" - BE SURE TO INCLUDE "The Tie That Binds" in the memo field. Checks can be mailed to the Spectrum Health Foundation at 100 Michigan St NE, Grand Rapids, MI 49503.	Click here for a guide to making Neo-natal Quilts.	NEONATAL QUILT PARADE! March 2011 was Neonatal Month! We collected 335 quilts to be donated to Spectrum's Butterworth Neo-Natal unit! What a great variety and a wonderful job. Thank you ladies and gentlemen!
