Grandmothers to Grandmothers Campaign

Hello knitters,

It’s this time of the year again! The spring is… almost in the air, and if you feel the urge to revamp your stash or to lighten it up, here is a great cause!

This is the message from the local charity group that helps African grandmothers who are raising children orphaned by HIV/AIDS.

We are having our annual Fabric & Yarn Sale in support of the Stephen Lewis Foundation Grandmothers Campaign again this year on May 4th at Saint Vincent de Paul Catholic Church in Dartmouth. We are looking for donations of  fabric, yarn, sewing, quilting and knitting supplies, notions and craft supplies.  We would also love to have your knitters come and purchase yarn for the various projects that you do.

  1. Hi Olha, Where is Dartmouth—in Canada or USA? Silly question I know. Will try to mail some small items to send to you as postage from Arizona is a lot! Marie Spanos

    1. Hi Marie, sorry for the delayed reply, the notification went to the Social tab for some reason… It is in Canada, Nova Scotia. You are right, the postage is expensive and might not be worth the trouble… Maybe consider a small donation that equals the amount of postage? Now it is easy to do money transfer by email.

So, what do you think?
