CROCHET FOR CHARITY - Donate Your Handiwork and Make a Difference

CROCHET FOR CHARITY – Donate Your Handiwork and Make a Difference

For years I’ve wanted to crochet for charity. I have never gotten to it. Perhaps, just perhaps, now is the time!

Charity work honestly probably does more for the giver than the receiver.  I believe, however, that it is the interchange as a whole that improves life for everyone. When we give from our heart to another who receives it, positive energy multiplies. How could it not? Volunteering is…
