CAMEO Quilters guild members serve their community in several ways:  Every year,  members make quilts, pillows and tote bags for donation to non-profit agencies. These are distributed by Oakland County Department of Human Services, some of the larger quilts are donated to the Gilda's Club organization, who then gives them to patients;

Layette sets are donated to Clawson United Methodist Church, gift bags are made for Women and Children at The Haven House.

We accept donations of fabrics and make kits which our members then make into quilts, pillows, and tote bags.
