Charities have told us how much this would be appreciated as people
don't tend to donate warm clothing for Queensland's needy as they think
it doesn't get cold enough here, but it does especially for those
living on the streets in the cold and wet. They also like to be able to
give some NEW items to the needy as it boosts their self confidence.
So get those needles working...anything - booties, bonnets, beanies,
scarves, jumpers, cardigans (for babies, children and adults) and even
knitted toys would be greatly appreciated. There is no pressure to make
any particular number of items, just whatever you can do will be great!
And if you think that one donation wouldn't help please consider this
That one item that you make will make a world of difference to somebody in need!
Since inception in January 2006 until 31 December, 2009, there has been 40,167
items donated to the less fortunate. In December 2009 ALONE, members made and donated 18,543 items! Which was
incredible but in 2010 we are hoping to get 20,100 items donated!
Donated items which has helped homeless, prem babies, youth in
crisis, aboriginal settlement; animal refuges, aged homes, families in
need and a crisis centre for women/children. Up to date we have 320+
online members and approx 100 members who don't have access to
computers! but always need more willing knitters/crocheters/loomers etc.
Thanks to all who have donated their time, skills, and love
for helping the needy.
So please join us in our quest to help the less fortunate than ourselves!
