Community Service
Centreville QU members work on a number of community service projects each year. Our Community Service Chairperson, Barbara Hoge, is available for any questions concerning community service projects. Currently members make ABC Quilts (directions are listed below), quilts for Fairfax Hospital and various women's clinics, stuffed bears for Fair Oaks Hospital, and Reach for Recovery Bags for the American Cancer Society. In addition, we collect labels from Campbell's foods to donate to Colin Powell Elementary School where we meet. If any member would like to donate their Giant register receipts to Colin Powell Elementary School, it would be greatly appreciated. This can be done at the Giant stores or via their website.
