Can you knit? We are starting a new Knit for Nigeria campaign this summer to knit up 50 wool beanies to sell this fall. 100% of funds from these handspun, handknit wool beanies will go to fund the children of Shield City!
We really need just three or four more knitters in the U.S. to round out our team of knitters. Please email Jeslyn Lemke (see below). Our goal is to have all our wool beanies done by October, 2024, when we start our sale.
How it works:
You email Volunteer Media Coordinator Jeslyn Lemke at jeslynlemke25@gmail.com to say, yes, I will be your best knitter ever!
You receive your yarn from Jeslyn either in person or via mail by mid-July
You knit five beanies this summer (and potentially a scarf or two if you'd like).
You finish your beanies and get them back to Jeslyn by Oct. 1, 2024.
Beanies are then tagged, packaged and marketed online.
You tell your friends and family to buy a beanie or give one as a gift this Christmas!
Buyers purchase the beanies through our website and receive them via mail.
