SCCQG Disaster Fund

In addition, the Council has a Disaster Fund. In past years, we have been able to make a small donation to guild members who have lost their homes. Toward this effort, we are asking that Member Guilds notify us of any of your members who have lost their homes. To do so, please click here to provide that information. We will collect this information in the coming weeks and hope to have a full list to review at our February board meeting.

Mountain Fire Victims - Call for Quilts

The Camarillo Quilters Association is heading up a project to offer a free, homemade quilt to all persons whose homes were destroyed in the recent MOUNTAIN FIRE 2024 that burned down over two hundred homes in Camarillo, Somis, and Santa Paula.

The guild is requesting new quilts, lap size and bed size, which they will distribute at recovery events coordinated with Ventura County agencies. Please contact Patrice4CQA@yahoo.com for further information. Camarillo Quilters Association, P.O.  Box 347, Camarillo, CA 93011
