Esto no es solo un grupo de pasatiempos, es una misión. Nuestro objetivo es pasar el año creando gorros, bufandas y cobijas hechas a mano. En el próximo invierno, organizaremos un evento de alcance comunitario para distribuir estos artículos a personas en situación de calle, brindando el calor tan necesario durante el invierno en Colorado.
¿No tienes materiales? No hay problema. Tendremos algunos suministros para que puedas comenzar.
Ven a desahogarte y quédate a reparar. ¡Tejamos nuestra comunidad más unida!
