Warm Up America
Donations of 7″ x 9″ sections, finished afghans and accessories are accepted year round for different campaigns. See the website for ways to donate.
If you are in a charitable mood and don’t know where to begin, here’s a list that I’ve compiled from a quick search on Google. Here are a few charities soliciting handcrafted crocheted or knitted items:
- Binky Patrol – homemade blankets
- Blankets for Baby Rhinos
- Christmas at Sea – mariner’s garments for Christmas
- Crochet for Cancer – chemo caps
- Feel Better Friends – dolls for children
- Knitted Knockers – soft prosthetics for breast cancer survivors
- Knit the Rainbow – provide warm protective winter garments for LGBTQ+ youth
- Knots of Love – hats and blankets for cancer patients
- Project Linus – blankets for children
- Snuggles Project [Hugs Society] – warm items for shelter animals to help them get adopted
- Still Remembered – angel garments
- Warm Up America – warming hearts and bodies with yarn
- Wildlife Rescue Nests – nests used for rehabilitation of birds or small mammals
If you want to make it, there is probably a charity for it, if not, start one and fill the need.
Let me know if there are any others and I can add them to the list.
