75% of what I knit, crochet and loom are donated monthly to the Web of Hope conducted via the Red Cross. They provide the yarn and the volunteers do what they do best. I have been doing this for 10 years and have donated over 500 items including:
throws
baby afgans
baby hats/booties
baby snug sacks
baby cotton bibbs
adult/children hats
adult/children slippers
mittens
scarfs
wristers or fingerless gloves
leggings
ear warmers
head bands
