Learn more: Let's KNIT FOR FIT! For this project, volunteers will knit or crochet 7"x9" rectangles using a worsted-weight acrylic yarn. Check out Warm Up America's pattern and yarn resources. Completed items need to be mailed or delivered by Tuesday, April 30, 2024. Your project leader, Kathleen, will join the rectangles into blankets to be donated to Families in Transition's (FIT) Family Emergency Shelter in Manchester, NH. FIT's Family Emergency Shelter offers 11 units for families with children, providing regular meals and ongoing support to help families exiting homelessness.
Volunteers will need to supply their own yarn and tools, and pay their own mailing costs. Colors are up to you; mismatching makes the blanket feel more homemade and comforting.
Mail your finished pieces to:Southern New Hampshire Universityc/o Kathleen Procek2500 North River RoadManchester, NH 03106
Or, if you're local to Manchester, you can drop your finished pieces to Robert Frost Hall, room 101C.
