I try to give most of my donation quilts locally; I do make project Linus quilts and Downey Quilts for kids but most of my donations go to the local Hospice house, the Women's Resource Center emergency shelter ( I always give a number of kids/tween quilts to the shelter during the holidays, kids who wind up in the shelters during that time of year are especially in need of something special just for them) . I also give quilts to our local fire department, when a family's home burns it is nice if the responding fire department has a couple quilts to give them. I also give to a couple local churches/organizations that put together special gift baskets during the holidays.
