That's a thoughtful idea. You could check with local hospitals, neonatal units, nursing homes, hospice centers, and women's shelters, as many of them accept handmade lap blankets, shawls, and preemie blankets. It's always a good idea to call ahead and ask about their donation guidelines.

You could also browse community organizations and resources on littlecanadian.ca to find charities or family support groups in your area that may welcome handmade donations. Your knitted items can bring a lot of comfort to seniors, new parents, and infants in need.
