Love Isn't Love Until You Give It Away
February 2, 2025
“Love in your heart wasn’t put there to stay. Love isn’t love till you give it away.”
-Maria, The Sound of Music
Lyric by Oscar Hammerstein II
Crafters show love with handmade gifts. Besides supplies, crafters are giving their time & energy, right? Most of the time, y’all are making gifts for family & friends but we know some of you work on a lot of donatable items, like hats, mitts or scarves. If you’re making these for donation & aren’t sure who to give them to, Yarnivore is now collecting them. We’ll display them in-store until fall, then give them to one or more charities, like Haven for Hope or SAMMinistries. (We plan on adding toiletry items to our fall gift, like travel size soap, shampoo & toothpaste. If you travel, save your hotel toiletries for this.)
As y’all know, Yarnivore collects fiber-related donations, like yarn & tools. While Yarnivore takes donations & redistributes them to teachers & nonprofits, you can also take them directly to some organizations. If you know of an organization that takes donated supplies, let us know who they are, their web address & what donations they need! We’ll add these organizations to our resource page.
