Our Featured Charity for March 2018:  Mittens for Detroit

Presented by Sonya Blackstone of Blackstone Designs

Although this may not be a local Charity to us all, I hope by sharing it with our friends and family, Mittens for Detroit will receive the support it needs.  If you are unable to help personally, please share this with your friends online – you never know – you may reach someone who is able to make a difference! If you would like to contribute too, we encourage you to crochet the featured free pattern this month and donate it to Mittens for Detroit, or a local charity of your own.

Please read on to learn more about Mittens for Detroit and how we can help. ♥ Rhondda

Featured Charity of the Month for March Mittens for Detroit presented by Sonya

Donating to charity is something I really love to do! My love for helping those in need, coupled with some words from my grandmother, inspired me to start the Crochet Charity Drive.

You can join the group HERE.

Every Spring and Fall we host a drive, with various themes, to help those in need. The very first event was a mitten drive.

During the first event,  I was contacted by Mittens for Detroit, a non-profit organization that collects and distributes mittens and gloves to people in need in the Detroit, Michigan area. They wanted us to know what their mission was, so people involved in our mitten drive knew of a great place to donate their finished projects.
