I worked with my local chapter a while ago--they met once a month to sew labels on donated blankets. This particular chapter got lots and lots of fleece blankets where they just cut the edges of the fleece and called it a blanket. The majority of the volunteers there were knitters and crocheters--in fact I was the only quilter there. As luck would have it I started working the overnight shift and couldn't go to the meetings so I just make my own quilts and drop them off over there. You can look up your local chapter here:
