Charity Crafting
At certain times of year, our thoughts always turn to giving. Instead of our monthly Knit or Crochet Alongs, for the months of November and December, we would like to encourage you to join us in crafting for the charity of your choice.
Below you can find information on charities that we are accepting donations for, as well as other charities that have touched our hearts. If there is a charity that you would like to see featured here, please send us an email to: info@knitatx.com
Donations For Children
Our own Chonita works closely with Christ Child Society of Texas, Capital Area, Inc.
Nationwide, all Christ Child chapters have a common service project of providing layettes to mothers of newborns in need. In addition, each chapter responds to the unique needs within its own community. Our local chapter of Christ Child Society also works to support disadvantaged elementary aged children and unhoused teenagers.
On behalf of Christ Child Society of Texas, Capital Area, Inc we will be accepting handcrafted donations. Please make sure that all items are machine washable, so that the items are easy to care for. We are specifically looking for baby blankets (30x30 inches), baby hats, as well as hats and cowls for young children and teens.
Loose Ends Project
Loose Ends is a non-partisan, non-religious, everyone-is-welcome movement that aims to ease grief, create community, and inspire generosity by matching volunteer handwork finishers with textile projects people have left undone due to death or disability.
Loose Ends welcomes textile handwork crafters of all sorts, from anywhere in the world.
Anyone can submit a project or sign up to become a finisher on the website: LooseEndsProject.org There is no charge for this service. Donations can be made to Loose Ends Project at looseendsproject.org/donate
