Crafting for a Cause 2026
Join us in our efforts to lend a helping hand!
During this annual program, you can pick up a free skein of yarn to craft a knitted item for someone in our community who could benefit from a gesture of kindness. We're collecting handmade scarves, hats, and blankets (lap blankets, baby blankets, and regular blankets).
Yarn can be picked up at the James I. Gibson Library during regular business hours. All completed projects are due Saturday, November 21st at 5pm and can be dropped off at the James I. Gibson Library and Paseo Verde Library at the Customer Service desk.
We are not taking Yarn Donations at this time.
Organizations that we are donating to: Lullaby Connection, Foster Kinship, Project Linus, Henderson Animal Protection Services, 1Care Hospice, and Nathan Adelson Hospice.
