Our sheriff's department accepts qullts and knitted blankets. We put them in a ziplock bag. The bags then go in each patrol car. They are given to victims of abuse, fires, etc. Something to cover up and wrap around themselves. Over 200 were given out last year. Check with your fire department and sheriff's office to see if they'd like a program like that. Our guild gives to women's shelters and teen homes. Lots of options.

Check with your local hospital for children. Most of them love to have quilts for the children and they send them home with them when they leave. Our little group makes them for our local Children's Hospital and they are always glad to get them. Best if you put flannel on the back, but no necessary.

Having had to use a walker for awhile, I know how very useful the bags with pockets to carry things can be. It is very akward and unstable to try to carry something in your hand while you are using a walker. A bag with pockets would be VERY welcome.
