Charity Work

Giving to, and taking care of, folks in need is something that's always been important to me, and I'm so thankful that I can also incorporate it into my work with Snickerdoodle Knits.

​

Whether it's donating money or knits, or helping knitters find charities accepting hand knit donations, I am grateful to be in a position to help.

Keep Western North Carolina Warm

Post-Hurricane Helene initiative to keep survivors warm in winter weather.

After Hurricane Helene hit my state and I saw the devastation locally, I created this initiative to collect hand knits to help North Carolinians stay warm in the winter weather.

 

Knitters across the country donated yarn, warm winter items, and "warm" letters of love. In total, we were able to donate the following to Homeward Bound Western North Carolina:

  • 9 ​Blankets

  • 28 Pairs of Gloves/Mittens

  • 280 Hats + Ear Warmers

  • 6 Kids Toys

  • 85 Cowls, Scarves, + Shawls

  • 9 Pairs of Wrist Warmers

  • 26 Coats + Jackets

  • Long sleeve shirts, sweatpants, and more

​​​

In response they shared, "Items going out today. Your work and love is going to keep them warm and make their heart happy."

Leftover Product Inventory

Donated to Warm Up America

After transitioning Snickerdoodle Knits from selling hand knit products to selling solely knitting patterns, I donated the leftover product inventory to Warm Up America. This included:

  • 34 hats

  • 23 scarves

  • 8 headbands

  • 9 cup cozies + coasters

Hand Knit Toys

Donated to Ronald McDonald House

This was just a fun project where I knit some cute little toys and donated them to a local Ronald McDonald House for children to enjoy and play with.
