One of my favorites http://www.cubsforkids.com/This charity has knitters make outfits for teddy bears to give to kids in homeless shelters. The sweaters are great stash busters!!!
Thank you so much for the list. I’ve only been knitting for about a year, but have wanted to do “something” with my new found hobby. This list has been very helpful. I just can’t decide which charity to knit for!
I have long felt that poor rural people get very little press coverage by our media. If you’re looking for a GREAT charity, run totally by volunteers, you should check out www.BabyThreadsofNH.com. They help the many truly poor people in northern New Hampshire and Vermont. They need knitted goods for any age person. I recently visited them and saw them in action. A more dedicated group of volunteers you will never meet! Anything you send will be most greatly appreciated.
I am a member of the preemie project. We knit hats,booties,blankets, and bereavement items to help sickly preemies and families struggling for life:heart:I absolutely love this organization and the knits are very very fast and very helpful and much appreciated;)Check this site out… I guarantee you will be more than willing to help or at the very least think those handknits are so darn cute:teehee:
This is a site I just found out about. It is an orphanage in Kaz… (ah cant’ spell it, read the link) A woman posted about it on Ravelry in the International Adoption group. Anyway, it sounds like a pretty small group trying to supply these kids. I suggested to her to contact Warm Woolies to see if they could help, they have had help from Children in Common in the past.
In January they need socks and I have already started a pair that I will be felting.
Anyone who wants to send warm wool socks to very cold kids please check it out.
