our local EMT's and fire stations and police departments all appreciate quilt donations too. they give them to people who have had house fires, kids in accidents, whom ever they think needs it at the time. sometimes it really is special :thumbup:
i also give to the library, swim school, ...close to anyone around looking for fundraising opportunities or having a need.
of course along with the project linus quilts, quilts of valour, the medical care facility, the womens resource center...the list goes on and on...lots of organizations out there that will either raffle a quilt off for $$ or give it to someone in need
