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

Sun Aug 12 19:58:27 UTC 2018

Hi Tammy, Judy and everyone, tammy, thank you for sharing this article with 
us.
Terry P and I donate blanket strips and squares to our local churches 
knitting group, the ladies there sew them together and give them to the 
Wounded Warriors at Walter Reed Army Medical Center.
We also donate hats, scarves, mittens and other items to the same group who 
then donate them to a group who distributes them to homeless shelters.
I also make it a point to donate a small monitary amount to the local animal 
shelter through the veterinary hospital that I take my dog to.
As a member of the Knights of Columbus, it is my duty to "Give back to the 
community" when ever and where ever I can.

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
