A Note from the ED
Hello friends!
We are in the final days of our Create-A-Thon and we still have work to do!
We have a goal of $3,000 and that money will help sustain our programming around the world. Knitting4Peace brings comfort, warmth, and love to the Ukraine, Jamaica, Afghanistan, Denver, and everywhere in between. The funds raised during the Create-A-Thon will help us ship items across the globe and support our makers.
Your gift to K4P during this event makes a huge difference to our community. The world is struggling right now and it is our mission to provide support where it is needed.
While your gift means the world to us, it can also win your Peace Pod an amazing "Pod Day Out" gift package. There are also prizes for Top Fundraising Pod and Top Fundraising Maker! See below!
In the final days of the event, I am asking for your support. We are a small, grassroots nonprofit that relies on community support. If you would like to support us during this fundraiser please go HERE and make a difference for the global community.
Kelly Wulf, ED (she, her, hers)
