For the Non-Knitter Who Wants to Help

Many of you have reached out to us and expressed a desire to help with the project, and wondered how you can participate if you aren't knitters.  I think one of the best ways to help, at this stage, is to point others in our direction, and generate some awareness.  It doesn't sound like much, but really, in this age of social networking, it's actually quite powerful.
If you have a grandmother who likes to knit, pass along this site or idea to her.  If you're in recovery, mention this site to a fellow recovery buddy, as sometimes folks fresh and raw to sobriety need something productive to do with their hands.  If you have a niece or daughter whose sorority is looking for a philanthropy project, maybe this could be something they'd want to consider.  If you have marketing and PR skills, tell us what we could be doing better to promote our project.  Suggestions and comments are always welcome.
My sister Kate is a self-professed "optimistic" knitter, meaning she has great intention, but little practice as of now.  She is an amazing photographer, however, and is going to use her talents to take photos for the blog.  Kate is also interested in being hands on with the hat distribution, and will be working with Protection Point to pass out hats when our fist batch is completed.  She has also wisely suggested that any additional donations of scarves, coats and socks could be part of the donation.  If you're interested in helping her, just let us know.  We're working with the Philadelphia Protection Point needle exchange and will most likely be distributing our donated items at the start of December.
Thanks again for helping us get this going.  My mom, in particular, is incredibly touched by all your kindness and generosity.
