Community Projects |
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 |
|
Each November members donate a new doll and a
handmade quilt to the Santa Claus Girls. WMQG donated 346
dolls/quilts and 112 extra quilts
in 2009 to be given to area children who are coping
with poverty. |
