 Thank you Karing Knitters for your generous contributions!!

Hospital Hat Delivery

 

One of the members delivered a combination of 40 Christmas hats/headbands plus 60 general baby hats to some super appreciative nurses at Kaiser Walnut. They said we made their day! They so enjoy looking at the donations and distributing them to the new babies.

Thank you Karing knitters!

Youth Home Delivery

On December 22st, 40 adult sized hats were given to the emancipated young adults  at Youth Homes as a Holiday gift. They were so thankful and had fun choosing the perfect color for themselves.

Thank you for bringing some much needed happiness to these kids!!

Donations to St. Anthony's

This was our 8th year donating to the knitted scarf and hat drive at St. Anthony's in San Francisco. Eight of us brought in 83 knitted hats and 45 knitted scarves to donate to the homeless, making a total of 128 pieces.  We were also taken on a tour of the dining room (thank you Andrew) and clothes store (thank you David). We treated ourselves to lunch after our drop-off and had a lot of fun knowing we were doing our part in helping keep the homeless warm during these cold winter months.

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!
