My quilt guild makes quilts for AASK -Aid to Adoption of Special [needs] Kids. This is an organization that helps these special kids who are in foster care. In foster care the kids can lose everything they have: toys, books, cherished items, etc. However, they keep the quilts. I know because on of the ladies I taught quilting to had an AASK 20+ year old Down's syndrome in her home - she was her caretaker.
The church based quilt group makes quilts for a lot of organizations. Each year the organizations put in their requests and we try to [and usually do] fill their requests. One year we had 18 organizations. The Saturday before the Tuesday Distribution night the church sanctuary is decorated with a whole lot of quilts, even if many are folded. It is awesome.
Another church group I used to belong to made prayer quilts.
