Calling All Knitters (and crocheters)!!!
You can start volunteering for Mitzvah Day 2009 TODAY!
Join fellow volunteers in knitting or crocheting scarves and hats to be included in Winter Survival Kits which will be assembled and distributed to the homeless on December 25, 2009. All scarves and hats should be returned to Jewish Volunteer Connection at 1515 Reisterstown Road by Monday, December 14th in order to be organized for Mitzvah Day. If you need to arrange for pick-up, please contact JVC by December 7.
Basic scarf guidelines: Adult scarf: 7” x 50”
The end-product scarf should be as close to this measurement as possible in order to provide the shelters with uniform scarves for distribution. You may use whatever stitch or pattern you’d like and whatever yarn you’d like as long as you end up with this approximate size and a fabric which will keep someone warm in the winter.
Basic Hat requirements:
You may use any pattern you’d like – as long as it creates a hat with a folded rim fit for an adult.
For more information, call 410-843-7476 or email jbeckman@associated.org
