If you like to knit or crochet:~ Knitted or crocheted preemie (or babies in the NICU), hats and blankets are very much of a blessing to the families who receive them. I wasn’t able to find an organization that is dedicated to just this. But one place did suggest just getting in touch with a hospital in your area to see how to get these items to the families. Be sure and pray for the baby and the family as you are creating the item!
~Prayer Shawls 4 Fallen Soldiers is an organization that sends knitted blankets to the families who have lost a family member in the war. Go to www.webpages.charter.net/ps4fs/shawls/ for more information. You can also visit http://www.shawlministry.com/ for more ideas on where to send knitted and crocheted blankets.
~ The homeless shelters can use knitted or crocheted hats, gloves, scarves and blankets. If you started now just think of how many you could donate by wintertime! And think about how
special it would make a person feel to receive something from a person they didn’t even know!
This list was a little short too. So if you have any other ideas for blessing someone with your knitting and crocheting let me know!
