Charity Partner: Military Missions in Action http://www.militarymissionsinaction.org Military Missions in Action is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, serving the injured men and women of the armed forces in North Carolina. They are completely funded by donations and the members are all volunteers. Their services include household improvements and home maintenance that encourage independent living for disabled veterans. MMIA coordinates with churches, businesses and other organizations in the collection of items to be sent to members of the Armed Forces serving in combat areas and those that have been hospitalized. They work hard to solicit corporate sponsors and civic groups to donate materials and conduct fundraising as well as encourage the news media to increase awareness of Veterans' needs. There are many ongoing projects listed on their website, http://www.militarymissionsinaction.org, which we would encourage you to donate to or participate in. The Capital Quilters Guild is very pleased and honored to support the work of Military Missions in Action. Raffle Quilt: “Country Villages”.
