Since retiring I have found a new passion, making quilts for homeless children and abused women and children. I have used up all my fabric stash and would love to find places/persons that might be willing to donate fabric for this cause. I live on Social Security and cannot afford the fabric on my own.
Thank you so much.

You could write a mission statement and send to neighboring companies or fabric stores asking if they'd like to help out.
In addition post you can post on NextDoor for donations. :)
This is a wonderful thing you are doing and it is for a great cause. I would try and contact a local newspaper or even a news station to tell them your story. They might even air this on TV and people will be so willing to help out.
Hope you can utilize some of the suggestions offered.
Perhaps you could write up a short summery of what you are doing and what you need to be able to continue doing this and then add why you cannot afford to purchase supplies on your own (age, SS, etc). Be sure to state what type materials you need (such as all cotton?) unless you plan to use all types.
I would suggest you make a check off list of the places you have made donations as well as any churches in your neighborhood (you do not have to be a member) and any charity thrift stores that are in your area.
Take your flyers to all of these places as these are usually the places that are most helpful.
If you belong to any clubs be sure to talk with members or just pay a visit and ask for help (Women's Club, Garden Club, Shriner's & other clubs all have women's auxiliaries and you do not have to be a member to ask for help.
Check out any quilting shops in your area (zip code Google) and take your flyer as these are very good sources and many will help a good cause.
Put want ads on Freecycle and Craigslist. Fabric stores may donate when they hear of what you are doing.
You can go to Facebook,Craigs list,ask local churches and neighbors !
