Help Us Help Others This Winter
We're asking our fiber friends to join us in providing hats, scarves or mittens that we can share with community members in need. Items can be knitted, crocheted, machine knitted or store-bought. Our 2023 effort was warmly embraced by all of you and we're doing it again this year!
What?
It's All About Hats We're asking the NEO crafting community to make and donate hats that will be distributed to local schools, organizations or charities that serve people in need in our local communities. Winters are long and cold in northeast Ohio. Warm outwear is incredibly important. We want to be a part of the good in our communities by providing warm hats for people in need. Our 2024 goal is 75 hats Last year over 60 hats were donated! Organizations receiving hats included the Thea Bowman Center in Cleveland, Cleveland Heights High School and Project Hope for the Homeless in Lake County. Deadline: Drop hats off at the The Artful Yarn on any work day by December 7, 2024 Please Note: Donated hats need to be machine-washable. You can use any design you want - simple, cabled, anything you want to do. And any size you want. As one of our fiber friends says, "There's always a head to fit a hat!" We couldn't agree more. We're also accepting new, store-bought hats! Thank you for being part of this effort! |
