KnitHope COLLECTION: HOMEMADE HATS & SCARVES FOR THOSE IN NEED – September 1 through October 1

Northland Library, in partnership with KnitHope, will be collecting hand knitted or crocheted scarves and hats for those in need in our local Pittsburgh community. KnitHope is a nonprofit organization that works to distribute items to people experiencing homelessness, women and children in recovery programs, families struggling to make ends meet, children and teens in residential programs, and homebound senior citizens.

If you wish to donate items, please keep gender neutral colors and patterns in mind. We ask that scarves be approximately 60 inches long, 5 inches wide and suggest black and gray hats. Please place your completed item in a bag and label the size/type. If you are donating several items, feel free to include multiple in one bag, just please label the amount. Place the items in the collection boxes on either floor of the Library by October 1. For more information, visit www.knithope.org.
