Angels for Hope, crochet charity

[CaraLouise]

I would like to share about a ministry organization I am a crocheter for called Angels For Hope.

 

We have over three hundred volunteers who crochet either an angel, a butterfly, or a smiley face each week, and then mail it out to someone who needs a reminder that someone is thinking of them. Each month there are over six THOUSAND items sent out!!

 

The recent postage increase scared a few of our members away though, as we pay for that and our supplies out of our own pockets. I make my Angels out of crochet thread, so my postage is only about .65 as of Feb 2012. Others make their Angels with regular yarn, so they are a bit heavier, but if packaged right can still be sent for under a dollar.

 

If you would like to find out more about Angels For Hope, or if you would like to request that an angel be sent to someone please visit the website. Thank you! :manyhearts
