Question about knitting for charity

[rokeon]

I'm brand new to knitting, but I learned when I got into making chainmail that my ideal project is not one that has an overly firm due date; I'm the sort of person who starts a project, forgets it exists for six months, then finds the supplies buried under a stack of books and sits down to finish the whole thing in two days without sleep. So I'm looking for charity programs that either accept donations continuously or reoccur every year.

I can find a million search results about charity knitting, but some of them (like helmetliners for soldiers) seem to be defunct and others are just hard to judge from their webpages. Does anybody have any organizations they'd recommend?

We have a cancer center a couple towns over, and they are always looking for donations of chemo caps. Also I've heard the hospital is looking for smaller hats for preemies. You might want to see if your locals have similar needs. Hats are great for donating because they don't take very long, and small enough you can play with different yarns :D
