I don't know about you, but I personally want to help as many people as I can. Since I have been given quite a bit of yarn over the years I have come up with the idea to use some of that yarn for what I like to call "charity pieces." Basically, I work up a product from yarn which has been donated and sell it for what I normally would sell it, but instead of putting the approximate material costs back into the business, I take that extra little bit and donate it to a local charity-type cause. Partially it depends on where the sale is made as to which charity-type cause I donate to. If I am in the Everett area in Washington, then I would donate to the Evergreen Home for Teen Mothers, but if I'm in the Bremerton area in Washington then I'll donate to Coffee Oasis which helps to minister to homeless teens. You get the idea.
This hat here is my first charity piece. Many plans are in the works for other charity piece hats, scarves, fingerless mitts, bags and purses, and other items. I look forward to telling more people about this soon! Don't forget to visit my Etsy store (website below)!
Blessings and Peace!
