Guild members experience the joys of donating by volunteering with Community Projects. We contribute to agencies supporting individuals and families in need through the following activities:
You can visit the Community Project tables at monthly Guild meetings. That's where you'll find our kits, see our samples, and make new friends. Want to volunteer for the Community Projects Committee team? See Volunteer Opportunities.
Kits and Yarn Supplies
We attach a tag to every donated item (except dishcloths and toys) with cleaning care instructions and the knitter’s first name (to personalize the gift). Tags are available at Guild meetings or may be downloaded and printed (see the Donation Tags page).
Needles, Notions, and Patterns
Yarn, needles, notions, and patterns donated to the Guild are sold at discounted prices and are available at most Guild meetings. If you have items you wish to donate, please see instructions on our Donating Supplies page.
Yarn Donated to Others
We accept donated yarn at Guild meetings and some of the yarn is distributed to the community, including WI Department of Corrections, community programs for children and adults, and school art programs. Toiletries are also collected at the December Guild meeting and distributed to community programs.
NOTE: Unable to deliver a donation? Email communityprojects@madisonknittersguild.com. We may be able to arrange a pickup!
