Where to Donate Several Bolts of Designer Fabric

I would like to donate several bolts of designer fabric to a needy cause. One is a solid shade of soft green vinyl. The others are high quality decorator fabric. Any ideas who could use it??

What can I do next?

So What Happened?™

Thank you so much for all the ideas! Project Linus didn't have a chapter in our area but that would have been my first choice. I ended up calling our local high school and the home ec/art/theatre and fashion design departments were THRILLED to get the donation!! Thank you again!!

You can contact Project Linus and see if they can use your fabric. (Project Linus strives to provide comfort blankets for children who are seriously ill, traumatized, or otherwise in need.) Below is a link for local Texas chapters:

I can think of several places that could use the fabric. I would think a local university that has a costume shop in the drama department could find a use for it.

Habitat for Humanity may have someone on their board that makes curtains or drapes for the now home owners.

You could find a local dance studio, a local community theater group, a school in a rural area where the Home Ec. department teaches sewing and perhaps some student can't buy fabric.

If you have a local LDS church you could call the numbers in the phone book and ask for a Releif Society Leader to call you, if they have a clothing need they will often have someone who can sew make clothes and other items for the homes.

So many ideas, it is really nice of you to want to donate this fabric.

Maybe Habitat for the homeless? Not sure if they help furnish the house but if not they may know where to donate it.
