Until March 4, the Knitting club is accepting donated hats, blankets and scarves for the Knit with Love Foundation. 

“The knitted items can be used or new. We are a service organization and in the fall we knit baby blankets and in the spring we help nonprofit organizations,” club sponsor and art teacher Michelle Taylor said.

The foundation was started by Lindsay Baxter in 2008; the knitted items were distributed to the homeless in Los Angeles, CA and because of their gratitude, Baxter expanded the organization to 10 countries as well as homeless, impoverished people all over the world and children with cancer in hospitals.

“The kids [in the club] have come to an understanding that there is more happening in the world than what is just happening on this campus,” Taylor said.
