"Non-Quid Pro Quo" - Giving and not expecting something in return.
Here are two organizations for knitters and crocheters to share their talents: Red Scarf Project and Knit Your Bit. Their web pages provide information and patterns, too. See if you can help. This might be the time to learn to knit or crochet. Creating a scarf is a good place to start. I try to donate to these two organizations every year.
The Red Scarf Project does have a window of time when they accept scarves: Between September 1 and December 15 annually. My red scarves went in the mail a few days ago just in the nick of time.

Knit Your Bit accepts scarves year round and distributes them to veteran's homes and hospitals nationwide. There will never be a shortage of veterans that could use a warm scarf as a way of saying "Thank you for your service."

Many more charitable organizations accept knitted and crochet items, from blankets to hats to prayer shawls and scarves and more. Martha Stewart and Lion Brand have a list of charities for knitters where you might find a place for your talents.
