Knit for Kids
“The sweaters
are more than just a source of warmth…they carry the message of your
caring and the grace of God to the children. Each stitch is a prayer
for the cold and needy.” ―B.W., Sweater Distributor
Keeping Children
Warm
An orphan in
Kosovo faces another icy winter.
On a South
Dakota reservation, a child braces for the season’s windy
blizzards.
A retired
school teacher finds fulfillment in knitting for others.
The joy of a
youngster wrapped in a snuggly sweater is matched by the joy of
the volunteer who made it.
Guideposts
sweater project, Knit for Kids, was sparked with a column written by a Guideposts
book editor and by the thousands of people who responded. Over
200,000 sweaters have been made and shipped from throughout North
America and as far away as Australia.

Guideposts
readers knit or crochet and send us sweaters. We send them on to
our partner organizations, who know where the need is greatest.
-
Our partners distribute the sweaters to needy children in Nepal,
China, Honduras, India, Romania, Haiti, Appalachia, reservations,
Kosovo, and other locations.
Our mailbox is
often stuffed with letters from organizations thanking us on behalf
of the children who keep warm, thanks to the generous service of our
readers and donors.
