Castro Valley karing knitters donated 100 scarves and hats

Our Castro Valley karing knitters

donated 100 scarves and hats to low income families in Hayward. It was fun to see them “shop” for their perfect choice and then wear it as they picked up their food donations. These should help keep them warm during these cold days.

A few announcements to catch up on:

It has been awhile, we have a few announcements to catch up on:

While our group was knitting in a local cafe, a young security guard stopped by and we told him about our charity knitting. His eyes lit up and he asked if we had any adult hats for him. We gave him one and we could tell that he’d wear it and cherish it! He was so grateful and appreciative! 

Two members of the knitting group knitted/crocheted 8 beautiful hat and scarf sets for Youth Homes Foster kids! They loved them and had fun deciding which set looked best on them. Thank you on behalf of the foster girls!!

Forty adult hats were given to one of the members on November 20, 2018 to distribute to Cherryland families in Hayward at Christmastime. We’re sure that the recipients will love them!!

One of our very talented knitter/crocheter made 12 snowman hats for Kaiser Maternity. These are definitely keepsakes for the infants. They were delivered along with 13 Chanukah hats and 7 general hats on December 3, 2018.

Happy Holidays from KaringKnitters

Halloween Delivery

We delivered 26 Halloween

hats and 40 general baby hats to Kaiser Walnut Creek on 10/27/18. The nurses couldn’t wait to distribute the hats to the newborns. We offered a hat to a new grandmother to be, her daughter was in delivery as we spoke, and she was thrilled to select a Pumpkin hat. Thanks Karing knitters for all of your donations!

And more baby hats...

Sixty-five baby hats and ten headbands

were delivered on 9/15 to Kaiser Walnut Creek Maternity Ward.  The nurses were thrilled as usual to receive the beautiful donation and three of them quickly took two boy and one girl hat to babies who had just been delivered.  They again emphasized how much the new parents LOVE the hats and how appreciative they are to us.

Thank you Karing Knitters!

Happy 7th Birthday

Happy Birthday to us.  We are so proud of our accomplishments - Six Hundred and Seventy scarves along with Three Thousand Seven Hundred and Thirty-Nine hats made and donated in our short 7 years.  

Introducing....

The Castro Valley "branch" of the Karing Knitters

These knitters meet 2x month in Castro Valley at Cafe 4. They enjoy the beautiful space while knitting for charity. Some of them  knit and some of them loom. Either way, they contribute to the many needs in the community.

Kaiser Maternity

Much to the delight of the Kaiser Maternity nurses and many wows and thank yous, Karing Knitters donated 60 baby hats and 8 headbands on July 21, 2018. They wanted to make sure that all of the Knitters know how much the nurses and patients LOVE our donations.
