Hospice Homes often welcome pillowcases in varying materials, to match to the personalities and interests of their residents.

Some children's hospitals welcome them, in children's fabrics, to give the kids something more fun than a boring old white or blue pillow case.

Nursing homes and other senior care homes are other possibilities.

Be sure to contact these potential recipients before you make pillowcases (or anything), so that you can follow any guidelines/requirements that they have established.

Good Luck!

Those agencies have use of them for the kids, especially the older ones.
I agree! We Volunteer at an organization that provides clothes, school supplies, toiletries, pillowcases and quilt -all free - to kids in Foster Care. It's a wonderful thing to see kids pick out their new 'everything'. But it's sado,because we know that being taken from your home is not fun.
