Through my quilt guild we donate to:
1. Project Linus, quilts carried in police cars and given to kids in bad situations.
2. Blankies for Adults. The local dialysis center and cancer treatment chemo room can be cold and patients are often immobile hours while receiving their treatments.
3. Hope Pregnancy Center for teen moms. Every baby gets a layette.
4. Ronald McDonald House. Here we don't necessarily give quilts, but donate anything else needed to run a house, from paper plates to toothpaste, cash, and volunteer services.
5. Peaceable Kingdom, a camp for special needs kids. They allow us to have a weekend retreat at their facility and we, in turn, donate quilts for the camp beds, movie house, infirmary, and lounge areas.
6. Wounded veterans, often recovering in the hospital for weeks or months. We're near Fort Hood.
