- F.E.A.S.T. (Food Emergency and Services Team) With our meetings being virtual through the
2020/2021 year, we no longer raised money through our 50/50 raffle. Instead members sent in donations marked for feast and to date our guild
has raised and donated $6066.00. Members also continue to donate canned goods as well as donations of food by purchasing food through
Buy Farm Food
- Pinellas Sheriff's Advocate Quilter's Crossing members sew quilts and donate them to
Pinellas Sheriff Advocates to put in police cars for comfort to children and adults as needed. We will have delivered 50 quilts
by the end of our 2020/2021 year.
- Quilts of Valor
Members make quilt blocks out of red, white, blue, cream and/or gold fabrics of different patterns
are made into a Quilt of Valor to be awarded to our Veterans. Thank you to those who donate the blocks and those who
sew the blocks together, as well as the longarm quilters who selflessly donate their time to quilting them.
- The Haven of RCS
This year our guild also donated 50 quilts to The Haven of RCS for their homeless and domestic abuse shelters.
Some of the quilts donated to the Sheriff's Advocacy and The Haven of RCS.
