Community Outreach Program
The guild supports The Dana-Farber Cancer Institute Caps for Kids program and The Woman’s Lunch Place, a daytime shelter for homeless and poor women and their children. Guild members have contributed hundreds of hand-knit and crocheted baby blankets, sweaters, hats, mittens, booties, and socks to these and other Boston organizations.

In 2004 members dressed over 100 teddy bears to give to children being treated for cancer or to children under stress due to a family medical emergency.
