Mother's Day Donation Drive BEGINS!!

As the rains come, we begin the steady work of scheduling and planning our MOTHER'S DAY DOMESTIC VIOLENCE DONATION DRIVE . Craigslist is our mainstay for seeking volunteers. Their volunteer postings always bring wonderful people from throughout the New York area. VolunteerMatch is also quite good. VolunteerMatch provides non-profits with the ability to post opportunities and provides individuals and groups with opportunities that may appeal to them. The range of opportunities is extraordinary from driving to reading, from knitting and crocheting to sports. It's really wonderful!

Help survivors of domestic violence get a new take on life!

The percentage of women who actually leave the home is heartbreaking. Women who do are ostracized, devastated and alone. Sue Rock Originals EVERYONE!!!! seeks to restore humanity to women who still have to work, tend to children and maintain normal appearances during extraordinary times.

Sue Rock Originals EVERYONE!!! teams knitters, crocheters and weavers with the raw materials they need to create clothing and accessories for survivors of domestic violence. In the two years we have been in existence, volunteers have contributed over 200 shrugs, sweaters, ponchos, hat/scarf sets, gloves and handbags. Yarn companies nationwide have come to the table and contributed exquisite yarns of every color and description - and needles and findings.

Your hands can help to make another person's life uplifted. Yarn companies and individuals have already stepped up to the plate donating boxes of yarns and supplies to make this effort happen.

If you are interested in more information and wish to contact Sue for yarn and pattern pick up, email suerockoriginals@yahoo.com or call (347) 365-8747.

Thank you in advance for your creative efforts :))

Receiving Contributions from The Point in New York City

The Point Knitting Salon is a sweet knitting haven nestled on Bedford Street in the West Village section of New York City. They feature sweets for the sweet, coffees and teas and some of the most scrumptious yarns you could set your eyes on. The Point recently had an event "Go Green". Part of the event included asking their customers to bring in their unwanted yarn for donation to charity.

The Point selected Sue Rock Originals Everyone, Inc. as their designated charity.

I arrived there on Wednesday, September 19 to receive the huge box and many bags of contributed yarns. These will go a long way in helping a woman make it through her transition.

And this all for the sake of asking......
