East Cobb Quilters’ Guild has a long history of community service. Members give freely of their time and energy to create great quilts and other items for donation to area charities, including Meals on Wheels. This past year, the East Cobb Quilters’ Guild donated 597 placemats to Meals on Wheels.

March for Meals on Wheels is a nationwide month-long celebration of Meals on Wheels and the millions of seniors who rely on the nutritious meals, friendly visits and safety checks to remain independent at home.

Hundreds of older adults and disabled individuals are served by the Cobb County Meals on Wheels Program staffed by volunteer drivers. Lunch is a lot more fun with a pretty placemat, especially with all of the beautiful designs.  

An additional note: The group delivered 76 placemats in January, 32 in February and 108 total thus far in 2020.
