Hello there! I co-own a yarn/knitting shop, and we have lots of high-quality baby yarns & patterns, plus lots of caring knitters who love to make stuff for babies. I’ve been interested for a while in setting up a program to encourage customers to knit & donate quality baby items. One of my employees is a former service spouse, and I thought of her when I saw the information about your organization. Would OSOA have any interest in hand-knit baby clothes & accessories for your showers? If so, with whom should we coordinate?
Many thanks for your time and for what you do,
Naomi
Hi Naomi,
We’d love to have your support. We’ve got showers scheduled throughout the end of the year. Please contact Kimberly at Kimberly@OSOAmil.org.
I am a quilter who has donated many quilts for babies, this looks like a great place to donate them. Would you be interested.
Absolutely! Any homemade items we get are always our favorite! Contact Kimberly at Kimberly@OSOAmil.org
