So many wonderful suggestions. I, too, am making lap quilts to donate. I happened to know the owner of an assisted living facility and called to see if they had a need ... he was thrilled and quickly asked to be put on my list of receivers. My SIL visits many nursing homes (as part of a shepherd ministry with our church) and says there are a lot of folks that have little or no family and are thrilled to receive such a generous gift. I believe someone mentioned local Fire Depts. I hadn't thought of them and will definitely check out their needs.
