Giving Back
Our community is like our family here in the Haliburton Highlands! The guild does what it can to help give back and take care of our family!

Quilt guild gives a Gift from the Heart.
Judy Cole and Shirlee Weeks of the Haliburton Highlands Quilt Guild recently donated $519.00 to SIRCH Community Services' Gifts from the Heart Campaign. The guild raised the money by auctioning off more than 30 donated items at their Christmas luncheon. The focus of this year's campaign was to provide food to residents in need, and offer training and supports so people can gain self-confidence, employment skills and parenting capacity.
