My Project

Help us nurture the minds and hearts of our students! Our knitting and crocheting club provides a safe, creative space for teens to unwind, express themselves, and develop essential life skills. Knitting and crocheting have been shown to reduce stress, anxiety, and depression, making them invaluable tools for combating the rising rates of mental illness among adolescents. By donating supplies like yarn, needles, and hooks, you're investing in the well-being of our students and empowering them to create something beautiful.

Beyond the mental health benefits, knitting and crocheting also foster important life skills like patience, perseverance, and problem-solving.

Our students learn to set goals, follow through on commitments, and overcome challenges. These skills are invaluable for their academic and personal success. By supporting our club, you're not just donating supplies; you're investing in the future of our community.
