Default De-stashing/charity quilting groups

My cousin was forced to almost vacate her house for some repair and renovation (she filled 2 "pods".) She has tons of quality quilting fabric (fabric for 79 planned quilts + fat quarters and other impulse buys) and has decided not bring it all back into the house. Not very much of it is "kiddie" prints (she's fond of civil war prints, navy and cheddar, etc.), so may not be suitable for Project Linus. I thought to email or call some of the area quilting guilds, but there are no phone numbers or email links on their websites. I know there have to be a large number of charity quilters who would love to have her fabric, but how do you find them? I know Salvation Army and Goodwill are alternatives, but I never see any quilting fabric at their stores. So, I assume they must just bale it and sell it in bulk with other unsalable fabrics/clothes.

Any suggestions that don't involve shipping?
