Even your local dialysis unit would love quilts. Their clients often become chilled during therapy and need warm coverings. Since the same clients come every other day, they could all have their own quilt.

Hospitals, churchs, police departments, fire departments, Newborns in Need organization, Quilts for Kids, Ask around your community I'm sure you will find somewhere to donate quilts.

WhyMe

Many of the organizations alreadt noted are supported through national charities (more visibility). There are two nationwide charities that accept handmade quilts and afghans for kids 0 to 18.
- Project Linus, http://www.projectlinus.org/
- Binky Patrol, http://www.binkypatrol.org/
You can check their web sites for chapters near you (one in Mississppi).

* Visibility gets them major donations, from fabric stores, charity drives, etc.

Quilting Di

I've only done Project Linus quilts for 5 or 6 years. I'm a very active member of the local chapter and have donated well over 100, maybe closer to 200 over the last couple years. In addition to quilts, I do crocheted edges on fleece. Have also done a few knitted baby blankets, too. We have a great bunch of ladies in the group and they are sort of my "local quilting board". :lol:

Inner city schools have children, homeless shelters also have children living in them. Is there a shelter for teens?? Locally, there is a shelter that services teens to early 20s that are trying to make it on their own.

Pregnancy centers love getting quilts, too! :wink:

Stormy Days

I sew for Margaret's Hope Chest also, they just got started for 2011. You can pick the child you would like to quilt for which is nice since they give you a jumping off point, like colors and likes. These kids aren't sick, but they sure do have a rough life.
