Zionsville, IN- The Kappa Theta chapter of Zionsville, Indiana has been very busy during November over the past three years collecting warm winter gear for homeless veterans. It started with only one collection site and has grown to five sites in only three years. Last year a library volunteer who works at a collection site offered to have her knitting group donate hand knitted hats for the veterans. Their goal was 100 hats and they exceeded it with 107 hat and 3 scarves. Kappa Theta is also concerned about the growing number of homeless service women, and are brainstorming ways to meet this new challenge.
If you have any yarn that you are not going to be using full rolls or partial we would love to take them offer your hands. Just bring them to Fall Conference on September 29. The yarn will be given to the knitting group to help our veterans and others in need.
If you live near this area (Zionsville), please consider giving your spare yarn to someone in the Kappa Theta chapter. If you live in Jackson County, Indiana, please donate your spare yarn to Julia at the library by September 28. She will see that it gets to the people who will use it for homeless vets.
Thanks and happy crafting,
Kathi
