KANG Chapters - please send the community service information that you would like posted here to website@knitatnight.org.
Community Service continues to collect facecloths and helmet liners for soldiers in Iraq & Afghanistan. We are also collecting baby hats and blankets for the hospital, as our ongoing service project. There is a need for larger size hats (not preemies) at Spring Branch Medical Center. Therefore, ANY size baby hat is acceptable!
Thanks for all the baby hats, booties and blankies......
To all you kind hearted knitters and crocheters!
All the Nursery and NICU want to offer you a big thank you for the wonderful hats, booties and blankets that Christine brought to us last week. We love to dress up our babies and appreciate the kindness you have extended to them.
For all your hard work, may you be truly blessed!
The Nurses at Spring Branch Medical Center NICU.
