Get Involved with Knit Michigan

Individuals are the foundation of Knit Michigan.  People like yourself put their love, time, and resources into knitting, crocheting, and sewing comfort items.  The items are sent or deliver to Knit Michigan HQ in Shelby Township, MI. 

Volunteers place the items into individual bags and include a care and content tag.  The volunteers gather at our new processing space generously provide by ChiaoGoo in the Westing Bridge building in Troy, MI.  The comfort items are then shipped to the Centers throughout Michigan.

We are often asked how much to donate and how is the money spent.  Every little bit helps. Here is what your donation can buy.
$5     Fleece to make 48 Port-A-Caths
$5     Hook and loop tape for 75 Port-A-Caths
