family, friends, total strangers, organizations- I give a lot of quilts to the women's resource center- for the shelter, to the fire department- for people who's homes have burned, the state police department- for that emergency situation where a cozy quilt can make someone feel better, fund raisers, downy quilts for kids, St. Judes, and the Hospice house...and when ever some other organization approaches & asks...there are always places/ organizations that appreciate your donation- and put them to good use- either by gifting them or by raffling, auctioning.
