National Needlework Guild

The National Needlework Guild was a charitable organization founded in the early 20th century that focused on providing clothing and household items, such as quilts and clothing, to those in need. Members often organized and donated handmade textiles to support families facing hardship, particularly during the Great Depression era. It combined the craft of needlework with philanthropy, encouraging community involvement to help improve living conditions for vulnerable populations. The guild played a significant role in promoting charitable sewing initiatives and fostering a spirit of service through skilled handiwork and community outreach.
