Knit For Needs – Help a Great Charity!

Knits for Needs is a knit and crochet charity created by Meridith Zelaya in January of 2009.  Meridith, like many of us, saw many of our neighbors in need of items to help keep them warm.  Although unlike many of us Meridith took action to help address the situation.  She organized the charity Knit for Needs.  Since being founded earlier this year, Knit for Needs has really delivered on its promise of helping people.  Knit for Needs has donated almost four hundred knitted and crocheted items to people in need! 

Knits for Needs, based in Atlanta Georgia, donate to people in need located all across the United States. Donations are made to the homeless, chemotherapy patients, prematurely born babies, our veterans, many hospital patients and basically anyone in need of warm stuff.

 Members of Knits for Needs are spread throughout the world and communicate through the many internet outlets. Members connect using social networks like Facebook, Ravelry and Twitter.  These networks help members not only communicate but also organize their collective efforts.  We encouraged you to interact with the organization via any of the aforementioned social networks or through the Knit for Needs blog at http://knitsforneeds.blogspot.com/. We now proudly promote the Knit for Needs charity at our Naughty Knitterz Internet Knitting Circle. 

Knits for Needs accepts all types of knitted and crocheted items. Once received the items are properly cleaned and then delivered directly to our neighbors in need of warm things made with love. 

Knit for Needs can be reached by email address at knitsforneeds@gmail.com and the charity’s mailing address is: Knits for Needs, PO Box 551, Woodstock, GA 30188.
