Our Guild is proud to knit for Charity.  Some of the traditional favorites are listed on this page, but there is always another worthy charity waiting for you to find them.......     and knit!

Looking for a charity to knit for?

Here is a list of suggestions for your charity knitting -  organization name, what they need, an ESSS contact and information about the mission/purpose of the organization.



Yarn Angels

This organization supports several charities with donations of handmade items and other things.  There are three donation nights each year (April 8, August 12 and December 2, 2013). Knit and crocheted items should be made using acrylic and cotton fibers so that they may be easily washed and dried. 

Blankets, afghans, lap robes, hats, scarves, slippers, booties, socks, diapers, school supplies, backpacks and books are all welcome.

Charities include Casa de Los Angeles, Cheer of Children, Harbor Interfaith, Rainbow Services, Little Company of Mary Hospital Clinics, Veterans Hospital, and Torrance Memorial Clinic

Contact Cathy K. or Monika R. for more information.
