One guild I belong to gives to Habitat for Humanity and people in the community who have fires, a pregnancy center, Toys for Tots. They have over 200 members. They do about 300 quilts a year.
The other guild gives to the domestic violence safe house. A smaller group of predominately working women. They do about 100 quilts a year.
I have given to the Veterans Nursing Home here.

I donate to an elementary school. They have used them to raise money for the school in the past. The last things I donated were placed in the library for the children to snuggle with when they were in there reading. I also donate to a national service dog organization to raise funds for dogs that are provided at absolutely no charge to those in need of them.

You can go to www.projectlinus.org, click on your state and see what chapters are in your area that you can volunteer and help. You might even want to start you own chapter. I know that we make a difference in our community. We had a goal of 600 blankets and took in 2.938 this year. The partnership with Disney brought in 2,000 in five weeks. We also make weighted blankets for children with special needs and autism spectrum disorder. I am very proud of the ladies and gentleman who volunteer and provide for our area of Southwest Missouri. Our chapter motto is: We make a difference one stitch at a time.
