Philanthropy
The secret of living is giving.
Acacia Quilt Guild of Orange County has a mission of promoting the art and knowledge of quilting while serving the community via philanthropic endeavors. We truly appreciate the generosity of our membership in giving so much time, effort, and money towards philanthropy. Many of us have experienced the love, warmth, and comfort that a quilt can bring! Our goal is to provide handmade items which bring joy to the recipient .
Acacia through its philanthropy shares that love, warmth, and comfort with the local community. Each year, we donate hundreds of handmade items (including quilts, pillowcases, book bags, and Christmas stockings) to local charities such as Thomas House. Acacia also makes and donates quilts to Beds for Kids serving the San Carlos Apache Reservation in Southeastern Arizona. We are also delighted to provide quilts to the families of veterans, active military personnel, and other respected individuals residing in Buena Park upon request for commemorative events.
We know that there are lots of groups out there doing great work in our community. We continue to seek organizations and other local charities that we might support. Some of the organizations we are considering to support include and the City of Buena Park Community Services, The Boys & Girls Club of Buena Park, Senior Care Centers, the Buena Park Library and Buena Park Youth Theatre. Our philintropic donations can be use as fundraisers which, in turn, would raise hundreds of dollars for these groups.
Kits, kits, and more kits!
We've got them. People need them. It's a match made in quilting heaven.
Acacia Members: Would you like to be more involved in philanthropy activities?We have a bunch of kits ready to go, and we'd love to get some of them to you for your sewing pleasure. There are many organizations in need, and completed items will boost our philanthropy efforts for this year. Acacia has a regularly scheduled meeting for distributing kits. Currently, a pickup/drop-off meeting happens every month on the 2nd Thursday at Ehler's Event Center in the Picasso Room from 9:00 a.m. - 3:00 p.m. If you're already planning on attending the pickup/drop-off day, you're all set. We will have kits available for you to choose from!
But ... if the pickup/drop-off meeting isn't convenient for you, you can still participate and help get these items finished! Just click here to fill out our handy form, and we'll take care of the rest!
If you're not already an Acacia member and you think it'd be fun to have things to sew, click here for info on our guild and how to join.
