I am looking for an organization that distributes quilts for wounded soldiers. I would like to make a few small quilts and would like to see them go to either wounded in transit or one of the VA facilities. Thank you

I think the organization you need is "Quilts of Valor" I think if you google them you will get information on what they need and want and what to do with them.
What a wonderful thing for you to want to do!

Welcome from west central Minnesota!!!
There are plenty of programs around. I sew for Veterans, in small towns nursing homes and a local VA hospital skilled nursing unit. Mostly elderly, but a few young ones in the mix that due to injury or disease need additional care.
You will find ur niche!! keep up the good works.
