Maybe money isn't a problem for your family, but you know of people in your community, and even family members, as we all do, who are struggling during the Holidays this year. Check City reminds you that sending money is one of Check City's many financial solutions.  Check City has partnered with Western Union to provide an easy way to help someone out, even if you can't be there with them this Christmas season. 

Don't forget that serving those around you, may be another way to get involved with your community during the Holiday season, make some memories that will last a lifetime, and change someone's life for the better.

Here are a few ideas for how you can help out no matter where in the United States you call home:

1. Toys for Tots : Toys for Tots hosts gift drives in every state in the country, so that no matter where you live, you can help a child in need.
2. Make-a-Wish Foundation: As always the Make-A-Wish Foundation provides hope to children in various different circumstances and walks of life.
3. Angel Tree: This is a group dedicated to providing gifts and hope to children with parents in prison with the hope of making a difference in the lives of not only those children but maybe one day their parents as well.
4. Many towns offer local opportunities to provide service to those in need as well through local soup kitchens, homeless shelters or similar endeavors. Check with your city for more information on local upcoming events to help provide a better Holiday to those in need.

This show is one of the very few in the nation that accepts only, "handquilted" quilts. Because of this if you do purchase a quilt you will know that your quilt is unique and one of a kind.

On Friday, November 20th, 2009 a dinner and auction will be held to give all the exhibited quilts a home. Profits from the show and auction are going to directly benefit medical research and education in Intermountain Healthcare's Salt Lake Valley Hospitals.
