How You Can Help?
Many people affected by homelessness are families with children. Can you imagine being a child without a comforting stuffed animal or a book to escape into at bedtime? Reading has been a cherished part of our lives—from childhood memories of “Good Night Moon” to passing that love on to the next generation. That’s why children’s books are one of the most meaningful items you can donate.
Together, we can uplift others through handmade care, thoughtful giving, and community support. Thank you for being part of this crafting community in North Chili, NY.
Together with these partners, our Handmade Crafting Community in North Chili NY continues to create with purpose—offering warmth and comfort through handcrafted goods.
