We make all size quilts - all are given locally. Each year we make about 60. Now I hear our local Cancer Center gives quilts to those receiving treatment - patients must fill out an application because not all want one. Possibly the Fire Dept will accept quilts to comfort people. Check with the hospital if they will accept flannel NICU shirts or baby blankets. I'd make a sample for them to see. I know a lady who makes tiny clothes for precious babies who are born early and don't survive. Her daughter is a Labor/Delivery nurse and she suggested it because parents are unprepared. It gives them great comfort to see their baby clothed. I'm glad you are asking because there's many things to do.

Pillowcases are easy to do. Children in protective custody can use them, as well as people in any kind of shelter. I know of a group that gives pillow cases to underprivileged children going to camp. A pillowcase can be cheerful and useful at the same time -- in its intended use as a pillowcase, but also to carry things - personal items and even dirty laundry.
