There are many opportunities to knit for charity. Most people already know about them:

--The Prayer Shawl Ministry: knit prayer shawls and donate them to your local hospice.
--Premature baby hats/blankets to donate to the hospital. Preemie Projects
--Linus Blanket: for kids who are very sick or traumatized.

However, there are other ways to donate projects.

Firefighters encounter scared children. Therefore, they  have stuffed animals and blankets on their trucks. We can knit blankets and little stuffed toys for them.

Dishcloths for Japan: don't forget! Japan is still struggling greatly with the aftermath of the earthquake and the nuclear plants have not yet settled down. You can donate projects to World Care or to the Red Cross. In order to donate to the Red Cross, I think it's easiest to sell your projects on ebay with the proceeds going towards the organization.

You can donate to your local children's shelter. They are regularly looking for blankets, socks, and hats. Casa de los Ninos is a great one in my area.

Any other charities that you like to donate to? Please add them in the comments section.

Happy knitting!
