I have a lot of yarn and incomplete items that my mom had crocheted. I don't know what to do with it. I tried calling nursing homes for their activities and local churches but they don't have the crafters anymore. Does anyone know of anybody that would love to take this yarn off my hands? My mom was making a lot of Xmas things and there are white, red, green, and many other colors. I have two huge bags of it. I also have old fashioned spools of cotton.

After my mother, a great crafter, died, my sister and I packed up all her craft supplies and gave them to the local Girl Scout headquarters. They were very happy to get them for their crafts programs. You might try them.
Do you know of any other yarn Angels that would donate yarn to me. I crochet for Catholic charity and nursing homes

I would love to donate a bunch of yarn to you, please let me know if you are still accepting yarn, I have some redheart that I won't love to pass on. My name is Darlene Jessup.
Preschools and day care centers can use yarn for arts and crafts time. This time of year maybe Vacation Bible Schools.
Don't hesitate to give your yarn to Goodwill, the Salvation Army, or any charity to which you'd give clothes and household goods. I've noticed that yarn sells very quickly at my local thrift store.
If there is an adult day care in your city or town you can donate yarn and other craft supplies to them. They too like to do crafts. A group from adult day care shop where I work and quite often they have something they made (purse, shirt decorations, badges). The caregivers tell me they make lots of things and donations are welcomed.
I worked at an elementary school for many years and I know the art lady appreciated donations of yarn. We also had a teacher who started a knitting/crochet club and she needed supplies. I know my local senior center also has a club that would take the donations.
Many high schools nowadays have what's called a 'knit in' program, where students knit and donate squares that are then sewn into blankets, and given out to refugees, the homeless, etc. Any school with this program would love a donation of wool.
Angels for hope would love to have your yarn. We are all volunteer's and spend our own money on yarn and thread to crochet angels and butterflies for those in need of hope.
These little angels and butterflies are sent FREE of charge to anyone who requests one. You can contact Cindy at angelsforhope.org
This is a wonderful organization. And anyone who reads this and would like more information go to angelsforhope.com and request an angel or butterfly for someone you know who is ill and needs some cheering up. The butterflies can be requested for anyone reaching a 100th birthday!
I live in Buckeye, Arizona and was wondering if there is a place around here that would like an over stock of knitting yarn and also some crochet thread. Hope you can assist me

Have you tried the Protestent Home at Levick and Martins Mill Road? I know they do a White elephant sale and have people there who sell plastic canvas crafts and can probably use the yarn, or they can sell it at one of their tables.
I am in Colorado just starting a senior program would love to take these items and pay for shipping please call Sophia 303-476-3629
