Show all (5)The Pine Street Inn Knit-a-Thon achieves two goals:
First, it raises money to benefit Pine Street Inn's Supportive Housing Program. This program provides permanent housing to women and men whose lives have been derailed by homelessness, giving them a new lease on life. Second, the participants knit 9" squares in advance of the event that will be sewn together November 8th to create afghans for the Supportive Housing Program. Upon moving into their new home, each tenant receives a beautiful, unique, handmade blanket. Last year, we received thousands of squares, made 40 blankets in one day and raised nearly $20,000 to support the program.
The event is wonderful, fun and kid friendly. Please visit http://www.pinestreetinn.org/knit-a-thon for more information on how to get involved. While there is no charge to participate, a donation to Pine Street is strongly encouraged. If you would like to make a donation on-line please visit http://www.firstgiving.com/pinestreetinn and choose any knit-a-thon fundraiser to support. Thank you so much for your consideration and we hope to see you there!
