Heart to Heart Quilts Lanark County

Heart to Heart Quilts Lanark County (HHQLC) is a Canadian nonprofit organization and registered charity dedicated to providing comfort through handmade quilts to individuals facing serious health challenges. Operating in and around Lanark County, Ontario, the organization creates and gifts quilts at no cost to recipients who are living with debilitating diseases or conditions.

Mission and Motto
HHQLC’s mission centers on creating and gifting quilts made with care and compassion, using cotton materials to offer warmth and comfort during difficult times. Reflecting its commitment, the organization adopts the motto "From our hearts to your heart," symbolized by an intertwined heart logo embroidered on each quilt's back[1][4].

Activities and Community Outreach
The organization is run by a group of approximately 30 volunteers who meet regularly to sew and prepare quilts. Quilts are gifted to children, youth, and adults in the community, responding sensitively to the needs of those facing health-related challenges. Requests for quilts can be made on behalf of oneself, family members, or friends, with the quilts provided free of charge to requestors and recipients alike[1][2][4].

HHQLC has also engaged in targeted community projects, including a collaboration supported by the Lanark County Community Grants Program in 2022. This project provided $2,000 in funding to supply quilts to children and youth attending schools in the Upper Canada District School Board. These quilts were personalized to reflect the recipients’ favorite colors and interests, extending the organization’s reach to younger populations within Lanark County[4].
