I think that is such a great idea. I quilt/sew on my own, and can only do so much. I am an animal lover and I have always wanted to combine my love of sewing with somehow helping animals in need. I have made dog/pet pillows but recently started making layered blankets that can be folded if a smaller size is needed, and can be laundered easily. Top layer is flannel, with two layers of muslin inside and backing. It is surprising how fast I go through fabric making them. I am making them about 32 inches by 40 inches.

I discovered a lady was making cage inserts for a local animal rescue group. You adopted a critter, you got a cage mat. The mats were even sometimes time of the year themed: Valentine's Day, St. Patrick's Day, 4th of July, etc. Encouraged adoptive people. I discovered the group and this lady at the vet's office.
There are groups everywhere. Find that interest closest to your heart and talk to people who are involved somehow with that interest. They are out there and all it takes is talking to people to find them. Your time and talent will be gratefully appreciated. And you will make some similarly concerned friends.
Good luck and have a good time.
