I know what I will be doing a month from today on March 23 – KNITTING!
Inspired by Knit Camp leader, Marie Greene, I will join thousands of knitters and crafters in the Knit for Food Knit-a-thon 2024. A day, that Marie describes, when “we can turn skeins of yarn into meals on tables, hope in hearts, and smiles on faces.”
This knit-a-thon is a 12-hour marathon to raise funds and awareness for food insecurity. The event planners promise “100% of funds raised will be equally divided between Feeding America, World Central Kitchen, No Kid Hungry, and Meals on Wheels” and they have a track record validating their claim. The previous three knit-a-thons, 2021-2023, raised $877,571!
Even if you are not a knitter, every craft-lover can participate because what is not to love about a day spent working with your favorite medium AND raising money for such a meaningful cause. So join me in participating and donating to Knit for Food Knit-a-thon.
More information about the knit-a-thon recipients:
- Feeding America – our own Channel One Food Bank is a partner
