I donate cash when I can to the Salvation Army in my area. At Christmas time, they are involved in Toys for Tots. I used to belong to a group that made crocheted and quilted blankets for needy children in our area. Just found out that the woman in charge was taking the best of the blankets each month and selling them at craft shows. I still like to make charity quilts and crocheted blankets but I don't know where to give them. And for scraps, don't forget old sheets. I do starch them heavily before using and they work well.
