Distribution of Items:
We are so blessed to have over 140+ people involved during the year knitting and crocheting, and many kind benefactors who donate yarn and the funds to purchase yarn.
In 2020, Our distribution of 20,866 items was slightly different in that we were unable to gather in fellowship and pick, pack, and label our items for pick-up in our large group. Members signed up in small groups this year to get the required items boxed up and ready.
