have the Wit to help the Knit
what is a knitting charity???
How about “Peace Knits”.
Not only would you be providing peace of mind for someone who might not have the funds to purchase warm items; it would also provide peace to the soul for the contributors. I find knitting peaceful.
Some play on words involving “purl” rather than “pearl.” My mind won’t get me any further than that.
How about “The multi gauge purls?” I could come up with a better one, but my wife is needling me.
The Knitting Pearls?
How about “Purls Of Compassion”
I did a search and didn’t find any other charities(I think) that have that name.
Knit Needs
Knitting for Needs
Knitting Needles for Needs
Going through hoops
Knack4Knitting
knit wit- love
close knit givers
knittin for a good cause.
How about: Knit & Purl for Hope
Are you also prepared to “file” for non-profit status? Regarding sales of items with intentions to “give” FUNDS to a charity — Trust me, could lead to a very “sticky” situation with the “powers that be,” unfortunately, no matter how high your ideals/intentions are!
You are better off just choosing a “generic” group name (ie: Loving Hands of Rockford), meet once in a while (at member homes, yarn shops, coffee houses, bookstores, etc.), gather all your items up once in a while, and then donating your items directly to a “needy” organization already set up for items/donations — like (making cats/dogs in shelters little “sercurity blankets,” etc.). Or a particular homeless shelter, womens shelters, etc. within your own personal home area - makes for a warm & happy feeling for all involved!! (Also very handy to be able to identify/fill SPECIFIC items needed!)
Be sure to include a letter specifically identifying your group’s name (and participating member’s names) to hand in along with your donations, and perhaps send a copy of this “transaction” to local media. Keep a group “scrapbook with copies of these letters, pics, newspaper articles, etc. - it really makes the group as a whole more fun and enjoyable!
Hope this helps you out!!
