Nimble Fingers Needed

Between now and October 20th, we are asking our Brandeis members to knit, crochet or loom hats & scarves to be donated to HOPE OF THE VALLEY HOMELESS PROJECT. Hope of the Valley provides multiple homeless shelters throughout the San Fernando Valley & Santa Clarita, including one for young adults aging out of foster care.

All sizes, shapes & styles of your handiwork will gladly be accepted!

Do you have an extra stash of yarn that you are willing to share with other Brandeis members? We would be only too happy to pick it up and distribute it to others to make use of.
