Crochet for a Cause

Crochet Twin Cities (CTC) has chosen the following local cause to support in 2022. These projects address urgent needs in our community while serving a broad demographic. There is a little something for everyone to become involved in!

• Hennepin Country Human Services & Public Health: This program provides warm items to help children and families in shelters or individual clients seeking emergency assistance. Many children arrive at the shelters with just the clothes on their backs because they were removed from their homes without advance notice.
  
  Current needs: Hats, scarves, cowls, mittens, blankets and afghans for all ages. Soft toys, amigurumi and loveys for infants and children. Also, basic household items like scrubbies, dishcloths, towels, hot pads, rugs, bath mats, market bags - those basic things that are necessary when moving from a shelter to an apartment to set up housekeeping for the first time.

Helpful hints for your projects:

• Use acrylic or machine-washable acrylic-blend yarn. No wool.

• Please wash all crochet items before donating.  Mark if unwashed.

• Bring completed items to any in-person CTC meeting or meet-up.  We will deliver the items to our Crochet for a Cause contact.  Non-members with items to donate, please contact us at ctclist@gmail.com.

Members: You may bring completed projects to a monthly CTC meeting or any CTC meet-up, also watch your newsletter for other collection times and locations.

At the end of the year, names of members who contributed projects will be placed in a drawing for early yarn choice at our annual destash event.
