At Knit Tuck & Purl, the kindness of our community reaches well beyond the chairs around our table. It travels in the hats, blankets, scarves, and shawls you make with care—and generously donate to someone you may never meet.

We’re proud to partner with the Greater Boston Knitting Guild as a collection location for handmade donations. The Guild coordinates distribution, helping your knitting and crochet bring warmth and comfort to people throughout Greater Boston. Its outreach includes:

• Room to Grow — Supporting families with young children through essential resources, guidance, and community connections.
• Women’s Lunch Place, Boston — Providing meals, support, and a welcoming community for women experiencing hunger, homelessness, and poverty.
• Brigham and Women’s Hospital — Bringing comfort to patients through handmade prayer and comfort shawls.
• MIRA Coalition — Supporting and advocating for immigrants and refugees and helping build more inclusive communities.

Want to lend your stitches? Stop by the shop to learn about current needs and drop off your handmade contributions. You don’t need to be a Guild member to participate.

To everyone who has donated: thank you for sharing your time, your talent, and your heart. Every piece is a reminder to someone that they are cared for.

Metro West Knitting Guild has shared a call for handmade donations for Boston Community Pediatrics, and we’d love to invite our KTP community to help!

Knitters and crocheters, here’s what’s needed:

• Hats, scarves, and mittens for children and teenagers
• Baby blankets for the littlest ones

Whether you make one hat or a whole handful of mittens, your time and kindness will help wrap a local child in a little extra warmth.

The guild’s collection deadline is Dec. 9, when Erin will gather donations at their December meeting. If you’d like to contribute through the shop, please reach out so we can coordinate getting your handmade goodies into the collection.

A little housekeeping: All items containing wool must be placed in a zip-top bag and clearly labeled “Contains wool” to help identify them for families with allergies.
