How's this? Lets not pile on with criticism of QoV. Let each person read about the organization and decide whether they are comfortable donating through QoV or would prefer to make a quilt (or other donation) for a Warrior and send it through a different route.
I'm making quilts right now that i'll send to mimisharon. she knows how to get them to active military and to a veterans' hospital.
the Army has set up an information program for people interested in donating to soldiers and families:

Thanks for the "wake-up call" on this subject Patrice. Not that I agree or disagree with how this organization handles their donations - the idea of sending to, or contacting mimisharon for delivery is wonderful! She lives right there in Jacksonville - that's a NO BRAINER!!!!
