Knitting for Charity | Annual Drive
2025-11-10
Calling all experienced knitters (and crocheters)! Give to those in need. Small gestures can change lives in ways we can’t imagine, and we feel good when we contribute to the well-being and happiness of another person.
How can you help? This winter season, keep adults warm and cozy by knitting a hat.
This drive will run through November 14. Knitted hats will be donated to various community nonprofit organizations including Shelter House, FACETS, New Hope Housing and Cornerstones.
Pick up a limited supply of yarn while supplies last. Pick up a bag of yarn, while supplies last, from any of the branch locations listed below:
Regional: Centreville, Chantilly, City of Fairfax, George Mason, Pohick, Reston, Tysons-Pimmit, and Sherwood.
Community: Herndon Fortnightly, Kings Park, and Kingstowne.
This event is cosponsored by the Fairfax Library Foundation.
