Whether it is a veteran who have valiantly served our country, newborns whose mothers are children themselves with few resources, the elderly afflicted with Alzheimer’s, the homeless, those suffering from the complications of aids, or others needing help, the members of CareWear have risen year after year to the challenge of making lives a little better and brighter.
Completed items may include adult /children /toddler /baby - hats, scarves, mittens, gloves, booties, sweaters, lap robes, blankets, M-XL afghans & chemo caps.
- Knitter / Crocheter - will volunteer to make knitted or crochet items for those in need according to program guidelines/requests
