Making a Difference: Humana Crafters for Charity
Once a week, a dedicated group of 20 local women get together for an afternoon of knitting and crocheting. But this isn’t just a hobby or a social hour for them. They’re putting their artistic, tailor-made talents to use for a good cause.
Humana Crafters for Charity have worked tirelessly throughout the year to fashion blankets, quilts, hats and scarves to be donated to Southern Nevada veterans. Each piece is unique and made with loving care, some taking over ten hours to complete, but it’s time well spent for these ladies if they can help benefit the community. For the second consecutive year, items will be donated via the VA Southern Nevada Healthcare System, which provides services to more than 35,000 local veterans each year. The generous contribution of much-needed blankets and clothing will help keep our less fortunate vets warm as the cold winter months approach.
Bound together by a love of community and a passion for crafting, Crafters for Charity is making life better for the less fortunate, one stitch at a time. For more information on the Humana Guidance Center in Henderson, or if you’re interested in joining the Crafters yourself, call 269-5200.
My neighbor has lots of yarn to donate. I would be happy to drop the bags off (not sure how many yet) at the Humana Guidance Center. I will need the address.
Thanks, Jan
