One thing I would suggest, is to check with the organizations that want quilts and bags and such. When checking around, we have found that some places are saturated with donated quilts and don't have the place to store anymore for a while. You can always check back with them at a later date to see if more are needed. Another thing that is happening is folks are just randomly placing mittens, hats, small quilts in a public area with a note indicating the item is not lost but is yours if you need it! Gotta make sure it is OK with whoever is in charge of the property and also that you return to pick up unclaimed items although that so far has not been a real problem.
