My LQS has an employee who works with the Red Cross, so they take quilts in so when she goes out with the Red Cross she has quilts to take with her. The store also donates to the local woman's shelter. They also collect pillow cases for the local hospitals in the area. I'm going to make a quilt for Mission of Love soon. Have the material cut out so will be ready to go.

Are local Project Linus will give you everything to make the quilt except the thread if you are on a tight budget.

Our neighborhood quilt group for the last 9 years has made charity quilts. We donated lap quilts to the Red Cross to distribute to nursing home residents, baby and smaller quilts for foster care children, to a neighborhood distribution center for the working poor, as well as project Linus, and what we called Project Snoopy (Pet beds for the SPCA) (We disbanded this year because of personal circumstances, but I plan to continue to make some each year for various causes.)

I do mainly for Quilts of Valor and some for our local guild that gives them to various organizations. In the past I have worked with Binky Patrol in OK.

I donate quilts to Quilts of Valor QOVF.org. All the quilts are awarded to any member of the military touched by war. Any war and conflict. It's my was of saying thank you to our military.
