Yarn donations needed!
June 10, 2024
The Pew Knitters are a caring group of women who hand knit and crochet hats, mittens, scarves, blankets, and slippers for the children we serve during the holidays. They are requesting yarn donations so that they start their knitting and crocheting for 2024. If you have yarn you would like to donate for this purpose, please call Sis at 607-272-6806. Your donations are greatly appreciated! Monetary gifts to offset the cost of yarn are welcome, too.
Yarn donations also can be dropped off at the Tompkins County Probation Department. Sis has asked for any and all colors of yarn (dark, light and pastels). The ladies make handmade items for all age groups and genders. Thank you for your generosity!
