Community Partners Channel their Passion for Knitting into Helping those Most in Need

Catholic Charities Boston has recently received an outpouring of support from organizations and individuals interested in donating knitted items to clients in need, from longtime veterans who have knitted their entire lives to novice knitters who have recently come to love the craft and want to make a difference.  

This fall, the agency received a large donation of everything from handmade hats to mittens to scarves from the organization, Knitting with a Purpose, a longtime partner to Catholic Charities. Similarly, One Family Knitters at St. Edward the Confessor in Medfield recently donated cold weather accessories for children and adults, as well as nap blankets, which were donated to the Yawkey Center’s Basic Needs and Child Care Center. Individuals from the Notre Dame Club of Boston as well as staff and students from Lowell Catholic also recently donated baby blankets that were sent to the Yawkey Child Care Center. 

With winter fast approaching and temperatures cooling, the knitted items make a tangible difference for Catholic Charities Boston’s clients in need, not only helping them to stay warm but also reminding them that they are never alone and that they always have a support system at Catholic Charities.
