We also put out a Jar for cash if anyone wanted to help but not actually shop themselves. It feels good to help send a child to school for very little.
I was also thinking about this organization. My MIL has made quilts for this organization with lots of types of fabrics. These quilts go to lots of unusual places. I know many of her quilts were sent overseas to places where they are needed for super utilitarian needs like making dividers in refugee camps.
