In November 2024, our guild members created 35 pillowcase that are being donated to hospital to be gifted to children that are in-patient being treated for cancer. We hope they will brighten their stay

A number of our members volunteer for Brooksong Retreat and Cancer Support Centre in making flannel-backed quilts that are gifted to people living with cancer who reside seasonally or permanently in the Haliburton Highlands. This program is called "Warm Hugs from the Highlands". Contact Brooksong if you would like to volunteer.
