We always need crochet hooks and knitting needles, yarn and anything else that you can think of to make these warm goodies, because we supply so many people, they get to join in even if don't have the money to buy their supplies.

Our real joy is seeing light in the eyes of our volunteers sharing their gifts with each other and the people that will enjoy the warm goodies.
