Volunteer From Home

[friday7]

I've been wanting to volunteer lately but I got problems again. I had to get surgery today..minor but still puts back the volunteering.

Anyway I was looking online and I found some sites that take donations of crocheted and knitted items and they give them to hospitals, etc. Places that need them.

Here's a site that it very good because it gives the names of places that accept donations and it also gives lot of patterns.

I know there are other sites that accept things like toys and other sewn objects. These places have a directory of a bunch of sites.

Most of them are for crocheting and knitting but I know this one has sewing as well.

This one is unique , It involves making polymer clay bottles.

I just thought this might be helpful to someone looking for something to and that contribute to a worthy cause.

Great links, thank you.

The bottles are so unusual and a new recycled craft idea too.

I hope you eventually get to do one since you are looking.
