I sew with a local group that donates to Quilts for Kids
http://www.quiltsforkids.org/ and Quilts of Valor http://www.qovf.org/ You can check the websites to see if there is a local group you can join. And we also have a lady who makes pet beds for her local animal shelter from our shreds and trimmings. So nothing goes to waste.

Local women's shelters can always use quilts and tote bags, local police can sometimes use stuffed animals and quilts to use for children. If you have a veterans hospital, Birthright, nursing homes-check and see if they have a need for quilts. It's very sad that there is such a need, so much pain and suffering, even in our own areas.
