Support Local Charities Choosing a charity to support is simple - search online for charities in your state or area, and the project of your choice. You’ll find that there are many local charities, shelters, hospitals, and church groups that are always seeking donations and hand stitched items. Before starting your project, it’s important to check if the charity of your choice has a list of approved patterns, colors, or yarns.
