Community service is an integral part of our guild. Each year members are required to complete a quilt that is donated to a local charity or organization. Recipients of our quilts have included ABC Quilts, Friends of Karen, St. John's Presbyterian Hospital, the Neo-Natal Unit of Winthrop Hospital, Lutheran Family and Nassau Coalition against Domestic Violence, and Veterans Affairs Medical Center at Northport, LI.

The Guild also plans trips to quilt shows. Trips are planned for Somers, NY in May and Fort Washington, PA in September. The membership enjoys "Show & Tell" and Block of the Month at meetings.
