I found an organization that helps homeless people who are HIV Positive or have AIDS. They go to a shelter-of-sorts, called Transitional Housing. I am sure most cities have such a group. Caracole helps them find new housing and income and when they leave the shelter, they take their new quilt with them. Quilts are very welcome!

I went to my local children's aid society....5 years ago, turns out when children come into care and go to a Foster Family, sometimes, they literally have nothing to call their own...as to this day , we have now contributed 467 to children who have nothing, but now have one thing to call their own. Their names are prnted on the label!

I donate to Project Linus - mostly because they give to many different places. Our guild also does many different places. Both take all sizes of quilts - kids from birth to 18 are all sizes.

our local battered womens shelter is good. If they dont need them right now, they will later and they take them all. 1 or 2 at a time or a whole bunch. These ladies bring their kids with them.

our fire departments and the police department give quilts to kids that are taken from their parents due to domestic
calls etc.

I gave a bunch of quilts to a friend of mine that is a Nun and works with the poor, she was tickled to get them.

I give quilts away to people locally that lose their home due to a fire, tornado or here in south Mississippi huricanes.

Between projects I make blankets for the Linus Project. A local fabric store provides the kits containing all the precut fabric for free. I have to buy the batting at 40% off.

We donate to hospitals, child advocacy centers, adoption agencies, pregnancy care centers, homeless shelters, city, county and state law enforcement agencies, fire departments, volunteer fire departments, clinics, as you can tell the list is endless.
