A nonprofit dedicated to “remembering the names” of those lost to AIDS
About Quilt Project GOLD COAST
Quilt Project Gold Coast is a locally-based nonprofit serving Santa Barbara and Ventura Counties. We are an all-volunteer group with no overhead. All of our funds go directly to displays and HIV/AIDS awareness raising, and our volunteer efforts include information booths, displays at health fairs, churches, synagogues, colleges, and festivals, as well as a speakers bureau and our very fun Quilting Bees, held regularly on the 2nd and 4th Wednesday of each month.
Our Mission is to create and display AIDS Memorial Quilts in Ventura and Santa Barbara counties to raise awareness of HIV/AIDS, remember those lost to the disease, and help survivors cope with the loss of their loved ones.
