Our group donated 19 shawls, 19 hats, 13 lap throws, 2 afghans, and 14 "Nite-Nite" kits (each child's bag has a lap throw blanket, stuffed toy and children's book) for a grand total of 67 items. Items went to Haven Hospice, Ronald McDonald House and the KniTogether Comfort Program. Special "thank you"s go to Peg O, for yarn and Susan B. for yarn and knitted items.
The Knit Together Comfort Program: The comfort program is part of our group's charity drive. (Haven Hospice, Ronald McDonald House, Helping Hands Pet Rescue, local Homeless programs and additional Yarnsworks charities also receive items.) But we also knit items for individuals that are going through a hard time throughout the year, and the recipients can be anyone we know, not just someone in our group. It's our way to reach out to individuals, not just the bigger organizations. I take donations of yarn & items for our knitted donations.
