HI,

Do you love to knit/crochet, want to help the needy?

We invite other knitters/crocheters to join us and knit/crochet at your own pace at home, work or wherever to make items to be donated to charities who assist the homeless; abused; women/children's refuges; needy families; prem babies; cancer patients, animal shelters etc. The charities must give the items we donate DIRECTLY to those in need.

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 May 2 2008, we have had over 8200 items donated 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 over 200 online members and approx 50 members who don't have access to computers! 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!
