Assisted Living Donations

 We delivered 35 adult hats and 15 scarves on 12/10/21  made by the Karing knitters to an Assisted Living Facility supported by a local Women’s Club. The director was very appreciative as they like to keep their patients warm when they take them on outings during the winter months.

77 hats for Kaiser

 We delivered a variety of adorable Fall and general baby hats to Kaiser Walnut Creek on 11/23/21, right in time for the new baby’s’ first Thanksgiving. Due to the Pandemic, we had to leave the 77 hats with the volunteer coordinator to bring to the maternity ward.

We’re sure the nurses were delighted to receive our beautiful hats to distribute to the new babies

We delivered 111 general baby hats, 45 premie hats and 4 sweaters to Kaiser Walnut Creek some of which were Halloween themed on 10/20/21. Due to the COVID restrictions, a security guard delivered them to the NICU and maternity ward.

Kaiser Donation

 

On August 11, 2021, we made a donation of 48 general baby hats, 20 premie hats,  and 3 sweaters to Kaiser Walnut Creek. Due to the Delta Variant, we had to ask security to delivery the hats as we did over most of the pandemic. The fun thing about this delivery was that a staff member who saw the hats said she received one when her daughter was born 2 years ago and was thrilled to have the opportunity to thank us now!!

SUPRISE FOR MOM-TO-BE

    At a recent  meeting of the Karing Knitters at Bagel Street Cafe in San Ramon, we noticed a very expectant young lady. Peggy happened to have one of her famous baby sweaters with her. So she offered it to the mom-to-be and she  was thrilled.

Delivery Time Again

On June 2, 2021, And for the first time since the pandemic began, we were able to deliver, (126 general hats, 8 premie hats, and 4 sweaters) directly to the maternity ward instead of having security deliver them. The nurses were so thrilled to see us again and couldn’t thank us enough for continuing to donate during lock down. Many thanks to all who contributed to this donation.
