      Finding a Charity for Your Quilts

      There are many reasons to make a charity quilt. Maybe you have a special cause near and dear to your heart. Maybe it’s just something you wish to do to pay it forward. Whatever reason you have for wanting to explore charity quilting, you’ll find lots of good organizations more than willing to accept your quilts and put them to good use. It’s just a matter of finding the right one for your purpose.

      Cancers—Probably the most widely available resources for donating quilts are cancer support centers. Cancer seems to touch all our lives. You can probably think of someone you know who has or has had cancer. Most cancer quilts are made and donated to individuals who have cancer and are going through treatment. The quilt gives comfort and warmth to the patient while undergoing chemotherapy. The symbol used for these quilts and the cancers they represent is a ribbon. Each ribbon has an assigned color to represent the particular cancer. Breast cancer is the most widely recognized with pink as its color. Teal is for ovarian cancer, and lavender is used for all cancers.

      Alzheimer’s—The color most often associated with Alzheimer’s disease is purple. Quilts with attachments such as zippers, buttons and ties are sometimes used to keep the patient busy. These are called fidget quilts. They are sometimes weighted to give the patient a secure feeling.

      Autism—The symbol often used for autism is a puzzle piece. Colors range from very plain to colorful. As for Alzheimer’s, fidget quilts are also used for autism.

      Veterans—The quilts used for our veterans are usually patriotic-themed and made in red, white and blue. These quilts are donated to nursing homes, Quilts of Valor and many more organizations you can easily find through internet searches or through your local quilt guilds.

      Hospitals—Hospitals are always in need of quilts for the neonatal units, long-term care and outpatient hospice. You can usually find more information at your local hospitals through their health foundation.

      Senior Homes—Senior homes are always happy to receive lap quilts for their residents. Call local senior care or living center to see if they require a certain size.

      Quilt Guilds—

      Simple Simon

      This quick and easy quilt would make the perfect choice for any military charity group or nursing home, or with the right fabric choices, it would make a great children’s quilt. It’s very versatile.
