Relief Share needs

Hi all,

I am having a hard time, as are a lot of people right now keeping up with my charity work due to other financial needs in this economy. If any of you can and would like to do some charity work my favorite Charity, Relief Share (reliefshare.org) is badly needing help. Here's their latest post. Most of their needs right now although all donations are welcome are for baby needs. Please consider donating to them if you can do any extra donating at the moment.

Relief Share charity – urgent needs – spring 2012

Relief Share charity efforts are focused this spring of 2012 on the most urgent needs – and right now they are for babies. Here is a brief list of supplies and items needed the most, however, we accept all donations of any kind.



Supplies needed: – jumbo rick rack for the edges of the receiving blankets (lots of it – it takes 2 packages per receiving blanket), The rick rack helps the blankets last longer on the edges as it stabilizes the fabric and adds a pretty edging.



- flannel for baby layettes, quilts and blankets



- sewing thread, serging thread, embroidery thread, tatting thread, quilting thread – yes, any kind of thread We go through a lot of it.



- fabric – baby print, minky, chenille, flannel, knit, cotton, pastel – any kind of fabric is used, right down to the scraps. We do whole cloth quilts, scrap quilts, patchwork quilts, baby clothing, diaper bags, etc. Think soft and think baby colors.



- yarn – all colors, all kinds for hats, layettes, blankets, toys, etc. – ribbon for baby taggie blankets and burial layettes



- trims for baby clothing and blankets (bias, twill, rosettes, appliques, etc)



- scissors, rotary cutters, tools, knitting needles (circular needles are the best), crochet hooks, felt, craft supplies, sewing, crochet, crafting, beading, embroidery, tatting and knitting supplies.



Items needed:



- baby clothing such as onesies, layettes, sleepers, gowns, hats, booties, socks, hats

- baby afghans, baby cocoons, swaddlers and baby afghans remain our number one most requested items. Keeping little ones warm and snuggled for healing and growth is very important.
