Crocheting and Knitting For Charity

One of my most satisfying feeling is the opportunity to be of help to someone else.
Over the past few years, I have been able to come in contact with a few organizations that either accept yarn or crocheted items. One of my goals in the next 5 years is to be able to establish a nonprofit organization that distributes crocheted/knitted items to people in need.

YARN Donation - When I was pregnant, I think I made only two blankets that year and had a room full of yarn so I donated my entire yarn collection to the non profit called M.A.R.Y- Many Arms Reach you. I have to say it was the most thrilling experience I had.
There are other organizations that accept yarn and some of them are:
