Organization | Description | Web Link | Have I done this one? |
Bridge and Beyond | A charitable project focusing on providing hand knit/crocheted items for homeless/needy men and women in central Ohio. | Website | I have not participated but have been following the blog for a few months now and plan on donating. |
Embracing Hope | Not yet a 501(c)(3) organization, this project aims at putting handmade bears in the hands of children who are victims of abuse. | Website | I have not participated but would like to make one or two bears this year, if not more. |
Head Huggers | Head Huggers is a project that puts crafted hats of all kinds into the hands of individuals going through chemo treatment. | Website | In Progress. I created a tutorial on how to make one of the hats. I plan to begin donating to this project soon |
Knitted Knockers | A project to put light, breathable, realistic feeling knitting & crocheted breasts. These are used in place of silicone prosthetic pieces that are uncomfortable, heavy, and cause rashes. | Website | I have not yet participated in this project; however, I plan on doing so. The first step is to create a crochet and knitted knocker (one each) and take it to the local cancer center and see if they would be interested in having some donated. Then I'll go from there. |
Miracles Happen | The purpose of this program is to provide women with handmade items for newborns to help a woman who does not have a family support group. | Website | - |

Springfield Stitches for a Cause | This is a Charitable Fiber Arts Group with a focus on helping the local community through different efforts. | Blog | I have been following this group on Facebook for a little while and fully expect to donate items to the various causes as they are announced. |
