March 31 (Day 31) Handmade Love for Abused Women

Are you a crafty person?  Can you knit or crochet?
Would you like to learn how?   This opportunity is for you!

HANDMADE ESPECIALLY FOR YOU

Is a non-profit organization that makes and distributes comfort scarves to shelters for abused women.We tie each scarf with a ribbon and include a note signed by the comfort scarf maker. Often our hand knitted or crocheted scarf is the first personal gift ever received by the recipient.

In 2009, Handmade Especially for You made over 6,500 comfort scarves and delivered them to 22 family crisis centers and shelters for abused women. Most were in Southern California.


By the end of 2009, Handmade Especially For you went national and international, forming chapters in U.S. and Canada, and receiving comfort scarf donations from Germany and Scotland.  In 2010, our goal is to deliver comfort scarves at a pace 50% higher than 2009. Even so, we have barely scratched the surface of the need.




WE NEED KNITTERS AND CROCHETERS -  WE PROVIDE FREE YARN!
