how to crochet for a cause

For so many of us, learning to crochet was a very daunting task but once we finally got the hang of it, it became a passion.  Think about the pride you feel when you see someone enjoy a gift that you made for them.  How much they appreciate the time and effort and thought put into a gift custom just for them!  Or for those of you who sell your crochet work; how amazing does it feel every single time someone pays for an item you made?!  It’s simply incredible.




Well, think about how amazing it would feel to light up someones life when you crochet for a cause.  This is something that has been talked about and shared online for quite some time and has really resonated with me.  Every single time I have seen some beautiful piece and the smile or the story to go along with it, my heart melts and I have this incredible urge to do something like this too.  In my search for a project to dive into I have discovered SO MANY gorgeous and worthy causes and thought I would share a couple of them here!
