I am definitely in the camp or doing good work in the things I donate. I feel that those who are receiving the gift quilt have already been through so many bad things and hard knocks. To give them anything that we deem ugly, poorly done or given because we couldn't think of another way to get rid of it is heaping more abuse on these people. We should not insult their intelligence as well. Given to the animal shelter is OK I suppose because of the use they receive. But, to the less fortunate we should be showing our love and concern. I worked in a food pantry for a time. People would sometimes give us foods that were five years out of date and such things as quail eggs and rattlesnake meat in tins.
