It is time for spring cleaning, and with that comes de-stashing. Through the podcast, Unwound, I learned of several women's correctional facilities which are longing for yarn donations. These women are making blankets, hats, scarves and teddy bears for donations. They are helped by helping others...what a beautiful thing.
If you have extra yarn, think about sending a donation.
Programs currently accepting donations of yarn & supplies:
Women Empowered for Change - Alexandria, VA
Prisoners' Knitting Group - Albion, NY
Washington Womens Correction Center - Gig Harbor, WA
Scioto Juvenile Correctional Facility Community Service Program - Delaware, OH
Teddy Bear Club - Quincy, FL

It's a good thing Dad doesn't read this because he loves to give away my craft stash. It's a very good idea though.
When I read "destaching," I only think of shaving off a moustache.
