Crochetville has received a lot of support from the crochet community over the years. We believe strongly in the importance of giving back. In 2013, Crochetville became a corporate sponsor of a wonderful organization called Halos of Hope.

Halos of Hope is a 501(c)3 not-for-profit organization founded by Pam Haschke, herself a survivor of inflammatory breast cancer. Halos of Hope’s mission to provide volunteer-crafted hats to cancer centers across the country.

Donate Some Hats: ON SAFARI

We are encouraging all blog tour participants and visitors to spend some time this month making hats for Halos of Hope.

You may send your hats to Crochetville’s main office, otherwise known as Amy’s home. She will count all the hats and deliver them directly to Pam and Halos of Hope at Stitches South in Atlanta on Friday, April 11.

The Stitches South hat collection drive will focus on animal-themed hats that will be given to Children’s Healthcare in Atlanta.

Thanks for everything you can do to help spread the word! Wouldn’t it be cool if we could somehow reach all of the 1.7 million crocheting households in the United States? If you’re going to dream, dream big, I say!
