Purls' Touch of Charity!

As the summer is quickly closing in on us! Just wanted to give an update on our last KAL.

Our Summer Charity KAL was a HUGE success!! :o)

For the months of June, July and August the Purls were knitting and crocheting up washcloths focusing on pregnant women & teenagers, as well as women victim to domestic violence.

Our last donation we had 68 washcloths collectively for the months of July & August donating to the Cabarrus Victims Assistance Network (CVAN).

WHOOOOOA!!!!

CVAN offers services for battered women, their children and rape survivors.
Including a 24-hour crisis line, support groups for battered women, shelter with a fee of $1 per day or 1 hour work for common good per day, and much much more!

We had a GRAND TOTAL for the entire summer (all 3 months) of 109 washcloths donated to both Florence Crittenton Services and Cabarrus Victims Assistance NetworkAlong with TONS of health and beauty aid (HBA) products donated by the Charlotte Purls!!

You all really came thru on this charity project!!

THANK YOU to all the Purls who gave their touch of charity by giving back to the community with your time and treasure! You ladies are awesome!!! :o)

Giving Back Feels SO Good! :o)

Our Summer Charity KAL kicked-off with a BANG!! :o)

For the months of June, July and August the Purls are knitting and crocheting up washcloths focusing on women victim to domestic violence, as well as pregnant women & teenagers, and homeless shelters.

We had 41 washcloths for June

and a TON of health and beauty aid (HBA) products donated by the Charlotte Purls!!

June's donations went to Florence Crittenton Services!

This site is a residential home for single woman and adolescents that have nowhere else to go while they are pregnant, and typically do not have many personal items while still trying to prepare for a new life to be born soon.

THANK YOU to all the Purls who gave back to the community with your time and treasure!

There is still more time to keep giving! We will be knitting/crocheting up washcloths and collecting HBA products in July & August!!
