Heartmade Blessings

Description of Charity: Heartmade Blessings is a not-for-profit,
world-wide group of volunteers dedicated to providing hand-crafted items
to those people suffering a loss, tragedy, or going through a rough time
that need to be reminded of the simple fact that people care.
Heartmade Blessings come from all the wonderful people who donate squares
for afghans, baby afghans or shawls, pins, cuddles, and other hand-crafted
items. They are also made possible through the efforts of the warm, caring
people who donate their time in assembling and organizing the distribution
of these items to those in need. We truly believe these people are nothing
short of a "blessing" themselves.

to help others. We team children and seniors together so they learn and
have fun together. They do everything from spinning to crocheting and knitting.
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. We provide most of the materials. So we are always looking for
yarn and tools. If you know anyone that might want to help, we also take
finished products. 80% of all the money that is donated goes back to helping
people. 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.

Description of Charity:When
young people join the Navy or Marines, they are often stationed far from
family when their babies are born. The Navy-Marine Corps Relief Society
developed a program to encourage young families to plan for the added costs
of having a child. They have classes entitled "Budget for Baby" The sailors/marines
and souses learn about the expenses they will encounter and receive tips
to help cope.
When they attend these classes
they are given a layette of basic baby items to help them get started.
The society wants to include hand made items in this layette, so they are
looking for crocheters/knitters to make afghans and/or sweater sets. The
Society provides the yarn, and will cover the cost of postage if there
is no local base. They will put you in touch with an office/base near you.
