If you knit, crochet, quilt or do some other type of needlecrafts there's always a charity that could use your items. Would you like to make hats and booties for preemies?? Blankets for ill children? Perhaps you'd like to donate scarves and mittens to keep a homeless child warm. I am attempting to list as many local charities that could use your handcrafted items as I can find!! Just find your state and click the links to find out what is needed.

Adopt an Native Elder
Also:
In St George, Utah, USA - a group of 6 ladies from the Oasis Community Church have banded together to knit for the needy people in their community. They get together to knit, crochet or loom the following items: prayer shawls, afghans, lap afghans, baby hats and blankets. They need help to continue their work so if you could possibly donate yarn and/or finished items it would help greatly in their quest to "blanket the City of St George, Utah, USA with Love".

In the Loop: World Financial Center Knits and Crochets for Charity
We have a local hospital that has put out a request for blankets, for kids of all sizes for the new Golisano Children's Hospital in Syracuse, NY. The woman I help whenever I can is the child lifespecialist for the pediatric ICU. They get kids having problems like heart surgery, brain injury andall sorts of stuff. Another crocheter who I mentioned this project to asked about the possibility of usingfleece blankets (they need not a few!), and that's fine with the hospital. They also need, but to a lesser extent, so booties and hats for the babies. The babies there are full term, so no need for preemie items. The hospital ward used to get some ProjectLinus blankets, but no more. I can be the contact, as requested by the child life specialist.
