Knit for Food Knit-a-thon is a 12 hour knitting marathon to raise funds and awareness for food insecurity. 100% of funds raised will be equally divided between Feeding America, World Central Kitchen, No Kid Hungry, and Meals on Wheels.
I've been participating since the very first one! This year seems more important than ever, with the cost of housing and food increasing - and an expectation that it will continue.
In 2021 we, the knitters, raised $265,810!
In 2022 we raised $271,761!!
In 2023 we raised $340,000!!!
In 2024 we raised $379,010!!!
That means knitters have raised over $1,250,000 with our knitting needles!! Can you even believe that?!
I've been participating since the very first one in 2021 - and many thanks to those who've supported this important cause! This year seems more important than ever, with the cost of housing and food increasing - and an expectation that it will continue.
