1. Call your local hospitals. I have a friend that knits for the neonatal unit.
2. You can send them to Stitches of the Heart! Once you send the items to them, they will send them out to hospitals who need them. They're located in Santa Monica, CA. http://www.stitchesfromtheheart.org/ I recently sent 20 preemie hats to them.
3. Call your local food banks and ask them if they 'take' donations for babies, or if they know of a good charity for babies ... and THANK YOU for your donation! I was 'homeless' when I had a baby and would have felt WONDERFUL if I got a 'home crochetd baby blanket' for her from a charity.
4. Project Linus is a national non-profit organization that collects homemade blankets for childrens charities. If you visit their webpage, you can find contact info for your state and/or local coordinator. http://www.projectlinus.org/
5. Project Linus, a national charity with almost 400 chapters, provides lovingly made blankets to kids who are in pediatric hospitals, who have lost their home to fire, who have been victims of violence, and more. The web site says the organization's mission is to provide love, a sense of security, warmth and comfort to children who are seriously ill, traumatized, or otherwise in need through the gifts of new, handmade blankets and afghans, lovingly created by volunteer "blanketeers." Its secondary mission is to provide a rewarding and fun service opportunity for interested individuals and groups in local communities, for the benefit of children. You can go to the web site to find a nearby chapter and how to make a donation, whether financial or a baby blanket: http://www.projectlinus.org/index.shtml
