The Rio Grande Valley Quilt Guild has been showing appreciation for military veterans through quilting for over 30 years. Founded in 1981, the guild brings together quilting enthusiasts for education, fellowship, and community service. One of their notable projects is creating and presenting Military Service Quilts to local veterans.

The guild has a simple requirement for recipients: they must be full-time residents of the Rio Grande Valley. Further details about the quilt program and how veterans are identified are available from the guild. More information about the Rio Grande Valley Quilt Guild and their Military Service Quilt project can be found through the Port Isabel Press.
