Outreach Quilts
Diablo Valley Quilters also provides quilts to the East Bay Chapter of Project Linus. The goal of Project Linus is to "provide love, a sense of security, warmth and comfort to children who are seriously ill, traumatized or otherwise in need" through the quilts made by volunteers. The quilts are distributed to area hospitals and centers for children.
Diablo Valley Quilters are committed to supporting various local and national charities. One of the projects recently embraced is Rotaplast. Rotaplast international sponsors medical teams who perform cleft palate/cleft lip surgery in central America, South America and southeast Asia. The goal is to have each patient go home wrapped in a quilt instead of a disposable plastic sheet. DVQ has connected with the Benicia rotary who have adopted Rotaplast as one of their Service Projects.
