Molly,
I make baby quilts for new parents and donate them to the Navy-Marine Corps-Air Force Relief Society. It is a great way for me to try out new techniques. The organization teaches budgeting and other new parent tips to junior enlisted personnel. They give layettes and coupons and such for "Bundles of Joy" program.
Once upon a time I was a full-time counselor at another base. The organizations works with the Red Cross to give loans or grants to help take care of emergencies that crop up, like traveling back home when a parent is seriously ill or car repairs between pay days.
Cheers,
MJ
