Agency: Hands On Inland Empire (a program of Inland Empire United Way)

Description: Looking to learn a new skill and meet new people? If so, Knit for Need is perfect for you! Once a week we gather a group of volunteers to knit socks, hats, and blankets for local homeless shelters and hospitals. Don’t know how to knit? No worries, we can teach you! This project is open to all skills levels. So all you have to do is show up, and bring your own practice yarn and a pair of needles.

Volunteers are highly encouraged to bring their own practice yarn and needles. This allows you to continue to practice and work on your knitting projects aside from the volunteer hours.

SPECIAL NOTE FOR TEAMS: If you are registering your team for this project please be aware that no more than 4 team members can sign-up. It is important that you contact the project leader and let them know you will be attending. If you need to cancel please let the Project leader know in advance.

Volunteers must be at least 14 years of age. All volunteers under the age of 18 must be accompanied by a parent and have their parent or guardian complete a HOIE Liability and Release form for Minors. For more information and to download the form, Click here.
