Caps for Kids
Providing needy children with cozy hats to keep them warm is what Caps for Kids is all about.

Circles of Hope
A Circle of Hope is a little crochet square that only takes about 2 yards of yarn to complete. A circle of hope, also called a granny's daughter, is basically the first round of a traditional granny square. We take these little motifs donated from other crochers and assemble them into afghans and other items for different charities.
