Total Distribution of Our Handmade Items for 2019!

Our little Charity Crafters group is happy to announce the 2019 totals for all that we made (crocheted, knitted, etc.) for the local needy last year. These are just the things we already gave out and distributed. We always have more that is being accumulated for when we have enough to drop off for distribution.

For our local and nearby homeless:
Hats - 418
Scarves - 227
Gloves - 74 pair

And for a local VA center
Lap Covers/Afghans - 16
Shawls - 8
Walker "organizers" - 2

We didn't get the chance to distribute our things for babies in need last year but I'll be posting in a few weeks about what we just distributed to them a couple of weeks ago.

We are grateful for the yarn that’s been donated for these projects.

To date, we have made a total of 7,282  items for the local needy! We began April 9, 2009, almost 11 years ago. Doing some quick math shows me that we are distributing about 600 items each year. Considering our member count varies between 4 and 8, and seems to average about 5, that is incredible in my eyes.

Plus our ladies love doing this. I love our ladies!
Rolling along, happily...
