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!

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
