Warm the World
The goal of Warm the World is to provide a warm touch to those in need. The volunteers that work for Warm the World know how important knitting for charity truly is. They feel that sometimes it's just knowing a complete stranger created a beautiful hand-knit or crochet item just for them, and it is enough to brighten even the darkest day.
Warm the World is a 100% volunteer organization that makes handmade afghans for children without a home. They are currently focusing on children in the U.S. that are in foster care, non-profit pregnancy centers, and the at-risk independent elderly.
You can help Warm the World by making your donations of blankets, hats, and scarves. Contact Nan Sullivan at 1-719-276-0021 for more information.
