Community Giving:​​​​
​​​
Conejo Valley Quilters provide member-made quilts of various sizes, as well as smaller projects including table runners, placemats and pillowcases, to brighten the lives of many members of our community through two local organizations.
​
All types of these handmade items donated to Many Mansions offer residents who live in the affordable housing they provide with a sense of home and belonging to the community. Quilts donated to James Storehouse offer the foster children and young adults who are served by this organization not only warmth and comfort but also an assurance of kindness and love from the community.
​
Guild members share that they feel a sense of joy and accomplishment for the time and effort they put into each and every item they make—whether large or small—and also feel they are making a difference in the community.
Join us in our efforts, and let 2025 be YOUR chance to make a difference!
Community Giving Workshops are held monthly. Our next workshop is Monday, February 3, 2025, 10:00 AM to 2:00 PM at Cotton and Chocolate. Stop by and check us out. For More details HERE.
