Check with your local furniture store. We live where every Christmas a local store donates beds and mattresses to families in need. They provide new sets of sheets and blankets, and quilts if they have them. Every year when I hear their stories I am moved to tears by the gratitude of the recipients. Maybe there is such a program near where you live. My father spent his final weeks in the hospice unit at the local veteran's hospital, and on his arrival he was given a quilt to keep him warm. He always said that it was like getting a hug from a stranger. I can't think of any better way to honor those that have served our country.
