Knit and Crochet for Emily's Place - Global

An SNHU Global Days of Service Official Project

Registration open: March 1-April 30, 2024

Learn more: Emily’s Place is a YWCA emergency shelter program in the Manchester, NH area where individuals and their children can experience supportive community living while rebuilding their lives after domestic and/or sexual violence. As a comfort to the individuals and children staying at Emily's Place, SNHU community members crocheted blanket squares or comfort items, including hats, mittens, stuffies, sweaters, etc. Check out these helpful video and written tutorials your project leader, Mary, has pulled together.

Volunteers supplied their own yarn and crochet hooks (5mm), and paid their own mailing costs. Squares and comfort items had to be received by Wednesday, May 29, 2024.

Participants mailed items to:

Southern New Hampshire University

33 South Commercial St 
Manchester NH USA 03101
