CRO-KNITIATIVE
Cro-Knitiative donates handmade items that are crocheted and knitted by members of Team 75. Blankets, toys, scarves, hats, and more are made to donate to cancer patients, veterans, animal shelters, homeless families, and other people who are in need of help. We also sell some items and donate the proceeds. A little kindness can help brighten someone’s day!
During the 2020 holiday season, our team crocheted hats for the homeless, were delivered to the Samaritan Homeless Interim Program. Many of our members were first-time crocheters, but with our mentor's and relatives' help, we were able to crochet more than 50 hats.
