What organizations did NoSo 2021 benefit? Handmade Item Donations
There are many places where people would love a handmade clothing item! If you need ideas for patterns, visit the bundles in our Ravelry group!
Adele's Legacy This charity wants acrylic hats, scarves, and pullover long-sleeve sweaters for children ages pre-K through fifth grade (children's through adult sizes). They need about 500 to serve their chosen school! They prefer knitted sweaters in any color that you fancy. This is a great place to make something a little more fun and colorful!
Carilion Palliative Care Unit, Legacy Shawl Project Carilion Clinic's Project Legacy Shawl is looking for shawls, roughly 24 x 60 for patients near the end of life. Knitters are invited to donate a much needed gift to a patient receiving end-of-life care who is in need of contact, compassion, and comfort. The only stipulation is that the material used to make the shawl be soft and washable. If you wish to use hand-wash-only fibers, pin a note indicating care instructions to the finished shawl.
Roanoke Restoring Hope This organization benefits refugees and immigrants who reside in our area. They need washable hats, for children through adults!
