Charity & Volunteering

One of the objectives of GSQ is to engage in charitable activities.  To that end our donation coordinator determines the agency and the project that members will work on.  The donation coordinator collects and delivers all items to that month’s designated charity.
Donations are made to agencies approved by the GSQ board.  These Genesee County agencies are Carriage Town, The Humane Society, Hurley Medical Center, The Pregnancy Resource Center of Flint, and/or The Shelter of Flint.

Since March 2020, GSQ members made and donated over 2000 face masks which were distributed to area hospitals, care facilities and senior centers in Genesee County.

In February, 2021, 189 items were donated to
The Pregnancy Resource Center of Flint by GSQ members:

55 quilts, 7 fleece blankets & 8 knit/crocheted blankets
22 receiving blankets
17 bags
49 burp cloths
10 bibs
