Although there may not be any in your community, how about other communities around you? Are they're any homeless shelters? Before we moved here, there was a women's shelter, the shelter had classes on how to survive in the world on their own, along with job training classes, and when they graduated they all got a quilt, made by our little group. I donate two quilts a year to our local Humane Society as fund raisers in December, which is raffled off, the one in February is auctioned off. I'm sure you'll get more suggestions.
