[NFB-Krafters-Korner] Giving back to our community

[Judy Jones]

I think it is the best idea, and very excited about it.  I haven't had time yet, but am going to Google it, and hope to find something.

Thanks so much for sharing!

Judy

Judy,
I do not know.  I found the information in a book I was reading.  If I find one, I’ll share it with the group, unless you beat me to it.  Smile!

Yes, share it with others.

Thanks!
Tammy

I love this idea!!

Do they have a web site?

I would like to bring this idea to the ladies in this knitting group I have recently joined.

Hi Krafters,
I was reading through an article and came across an opportunity I want to share with you. Do you have yarn that needs a project?  Keep reading! 
Start with a simple project a 7" x 9" rectangleAnd this little rectangle can have a big impact. 
 
What good is a crocheted rectangle? 
The Warm Up America! Foundation collects donations of crocheted and knitted rectangles from people like you nationwide. Then volunteers sew the colorful rectangles into blankets and afghans that are given to people in homeless shelters, teen pregnancy homes, battered women's shelters, nursing homes, hospitals, hospices, and clinics, and to national nonprofit agencies such as the American Red Cross. If you prefer, you can even sew the rectangles together and donate the blanket in your own community!

Make a simple 7 inch by 9 inch rectangle and weave in the ends.
Send them to the following address:
Warm Up America
469 Hospital Drive, 
Suite E
Gastonia, NC  28054

If you decide to participate, would you let us know and donate it acknowledging NFB Krafters Division?

This would be a great way to let people know that blind people can do crafts and give back to our community!


What are your thoughts?

Smile!
Tammy
