*Our bake sale this time around will support Project Knitwell, a non-profit
started by two local women to bring the joy of knitting to those in
stressful situations. They are in several local hospitals, teaching health
care professionals, patients, and family members of patients to knit in
hopes of soothing away stress and tension. They have had a very successful
program so far, and we are proud to give 100% of the bake sale proceeds to
Project Knitwell! We will also have charity kits available for you to
purchase to donate to those needing to learn to knit through Project
Knitwell.*
