Like Shelbie, most of my charity quilts go to my Quilt Guild for distribution - last year, which I organized, they all went to the local Women's Shelter,
On my own I've given to a boys home. I had a teenage grandson at the time (I still have him but he's older) and thought we'd made lots for babies, girls and mothers. I got the most wonderful letter from the youngster who got it. He was thrilled and so was I. I've also donated to the Animal Shelter and to a local church who'd requested some for elderly poor church members.
I think anywhere where there are folks in need is a good place for your donations.
