The nonprofit group I belong to, Quilts From the Heart, gives quilts to our local Veterans Hospital every year on Veterans Day. We started making and giving patriotic quilts because a veteran suggested it to his neighbor, one of the members. The veteran had the name of a senior nurse who took on the responsibility of making sure the quilts went to the patients. ckcowl's suggestion is a good one. The organizations she mentioned probably have the resources to get the quilts to the people who deserve them.
