Due to the success of our first charity project for St. Anthony's (thanks to everyone who helped!), we are going to continue with our charity knitting & crocheting group! Our next project is Stitches for Sunrise! The items will be donated to Sunrise Village, Abode Services' unique shelter, which provides housing and vital services to homeless adults and families.
Here are some basic questions and answers regarding the project:
What types of items should I make?
Please craft any knitted/crocheted item that can be immediately given to and used by the residents at Abode Services' Sunrise Village shelter, which will most likely be a clothing item.
Examples: scarves, caps, mittens, and socks
Will a small cap be accepted? How about an adult-sized cap?
The age range of Sunrise Village Shelter visitors range from infants to adults, so various sizes are acceptable.

Are there any deadlines?
Our deadline has not yet been established, but most likely in late April or early May.
Our first goal is to have 31 handcrafted items by March 31st!
We will be making a our first delivery at the end of March, but feel free to drop off any of your donations directly at Sunrise Village Shelter as you finish them!
Bring smiles and warmth to Sunrise through knitting and crocheting!
