Keeping Akron Warm

Now that the weather is all nice and warm, it's tough to think about people who freeze at night during the winter. But we need to. It's a sad fact that some of our fellow Akronites freeze while we're warm in our beds, but we can help.

As I was scanning The BJ this morning I came accross their events and programs and I saw an activity for Warm Up Akron. I never heard of the group, so I went and checked out their website. They make afghans for needy people in Akron. If you know how to knit or crochet check out their meetings and help out the needy. They meet at the Mogadore Library on the 2nd and 4th Tuesdays of the month from 3-4:30pm and from 6-7:30pm and they also meet at Danbury of Cuyahoga Falls on the first Tuesday of the month from 3-4:30pm.

If you can't make it to the meeting, you can donate an afghan or knitted or crocheted blocks (either 7 inch square and 7 x 9 inch rectangles) to their efforts. Contact Sheryl at Warm Up Akron for more information.

Don't know how to knit? Then check out Stitch & Bitch. They meet every Wednesday at Square Records at 7 pm in Highland Square. They'll teach you, then you can start making squares and rectangles.

Warm Up Akron!
