Ruth Young's Story

Sometimes I feel powerless to do anything to meet the needs of those who literally struggle to find food for themselves and their loved ones. This fundraiser is a small opportunity to support organizations that have a process in place to get food directly to those who need it, using a craft that I love so much: knitting. Most of my knitting is gift knitting and this event affords another opportunity to knit something (a shawl) for someone who is going through a time of struggle (cancer) and at the same time raise money to meet the needs of others. Thank you for participating!
