Charitable Organizations

I thought I'd do a little research into charities that would welcome donated goods in the GTA area. Click on the organization name to visit their web site. Here's a list of what I found:

Angel Hugs - Angel Hugs is a non-profit charity group that knits, crochets and quilts for those who face trauma, crisis or life threatening illness.

Project Linus Canada
- Project Linus is a 100% volunteer non-profit organization. It is our mission to provide love, a sense of security, warmth and comfort to children who are seriously ill, traumatized or otherwise in need through the gifts of NEW, HOMEMADE, WASHABLE blankets and afghans, lovingly crafted by volunteer blanketeers.

Teddies for Tragedies
- In 1998 Teddies for Tragedies website was created.
Today we have volunteers all over the world knitting/crocheting 10" teddy bears for children traumatized because of war, bad weather or poverty.

The Crochetville Forum has an entire section devoted to charity crocheting with requests for every conceivable cause.
