Happy New Year from Stitches of Hope!

Happy New Year!


I hope 2011 has been a good year for you and that you look forward with excitement to 2012. of course, no year is perfect but with God’s help, we press on. One of the best ways to get our minds off troubles is to help others. There’s no better way to do so than by making something beautiful and giving it away to someone who needs it. that’s what we’re about with Stitches of Hope. We make knitted/crocheted caps for people who lose hair from cancer and give them to medical facilities across the US to distribute free of charge. We’ve distributed 5,000 in 3 years! Thank you to our volunteers!



Here is a lovely note from one of our volunteers. “I have problems with inner ear and with my ft. I’m often dizzy and I don't drive or get out except with family. Thanks for picking up the caps I’ve made. I enjoy making these and am glad to do something for someone else! More to come in a few months! Thanks! Irene.



We rely on generous people like Irene to create our caps. We still meet weekly at the United Methodist Church in Bluffton Indiana. If you cannot make it to the meetings, please let us know and we’ll pick up the caps from your home. Or you can mail them to this address:
Kayleen Reusser
1524 N Sutton Cir Bluffton IN 46714

We’ll get them into the hands of people – men, women, children – who need them. Thank you notes from some of our recipients will be posted in the coming days.
Take care,
