The Shawl Ministry: "Shawls ... made for centuries universal and embracing, symbolic of an inclusive, unconditionally loving, God.

Your local Childrens Hospital can always use small blankets, knitted/crocheted huggable toys, and similar items -- contact the Volunteer Department at your local hospital.

(Also, animal shelters and veterinary offices can also use towels and other things that you no longer need -- they are great for padding nursery areas to comfort orphans; towels are also useful for clean-ups around the animal hospitals.)
