Michelle Brennan, the new owner at Knitting Needles at 555 Thames Street, Newport, is offering shawl kits for sale and providing a drop-off point for completed knit and crochet shawls to be donated for the totes, which are given to moms and caregivers when they check-in at the Ronald MacDonald House in Providence.
Together with Newport-based The Confetti Foundation, featured on The Today Show, which provides birthday party boxes and celebrations in house once a month at Hasbro, the "Stay Strong" totes are giving hope and providing a bit of comfort for the caregivers of sick children.
There are several ways you can help:
- donate yarn for Weaving Wellness prayer shawls
- knit or crochet a prayer shawl
- Shop at Weaving Wellness on Etsy
- Like Weaving Wellness on Facebook! Let's get the word out!!!
By the way, MaryJanine, tells me, the RMcDH in Providence is expanding to 28 rooms from 14.
