Helping Hands for Ukraine

Helping Hands for Ukraine
Donate for Ukraine relief and win prizes
HELPING HANDS for UKRAINE aims to put those hands to use, uniting crafters, artisans, musicians, and countless others in an effort to raise money for those in need right now. Partnering with the Canadian Red Cross, we are supporting the “Ukraine Humanitarian Crisis Appeal,” which includes support for preparedness, immediate and ongoing relief efforts, long-term recovery, resiliency, and other critical humanitarian activities as needs arise, both in Ukraine and surrounding countries, including supporting populations displaced.

WHY CANADIAN RED CROSS?
Great question! Turns out, the Canadian Red Cross is actually quite efficient with their donations compared to other charities. And rather than contributing to a generic, blanket fund, the Canadian Red Cross has set up this specific Ukraine crisis appeal so that 100% of donations are earmarked to be used in this way. But wait, there's more: until MARCH 18th, the Canadian government will be matching all donations dollar-for-dollar, up to 10 million. Established charity, specific cause, and double the dollar power!
WHEN IS THIS THING HAPPENING?
Glad you asked. We're running this fundraising campaign from MARCH 1st - MARCH 18th to take full advantage of the Canadian Government's donation plan.
Yarnivore's contribution is Six Hours of private lessons with Our Wendy, along with a $25 gift certificate for yarn and supplies. Lessons can be held in person or over Zoom and can cover ANY knitting topic. It's enough time to get an absolute beginner from first stitches to finishing their first hat, or for an advanced knitter to complete a custom fit top-down raglan sweater.
Let's show 'em how awesome our Yarnivore peeps are!
Be safe, be well, be kind!

In-store and online private lessons are available! Please call 210-979-8255 to schedule a lesson! Wendy, Dawn, Moses, and Nancy M. are all available to help you with your projects! Private Lessons can be scheduled outside of regular hours at the discretion of the teacher.
The Tip Jar
Magnetic bracelets are super helpful for holding metal-based stitch markers and other crafting tools like sewing pins or t-pins for blocking, embroidery or needlepoint needles, etc, but they have another use!
If you're putting together some flatpack furniture or doing household repairs, you can hold your screws and nails on your magnet bracelet for quick and easy access!
All regular classes are currently on hold until we can safely seat up to 6 students in the classroom. We'll let y'all know when we can offer them again. Until then, we're offering most of our class material in private lessons.
