This month, JFS received a head-warming donation for this year's Holiday Gift Drive. Claudia, a retired education professional turned volunteer, has not only embraced the art of knitting but also found a meaningful way to contribute to the community: transforming yarn into cherished creations.
Caring Stitches
Having discovered JFS' Holiday Gift Drive through a simple Google search, Claudia was eager to contribute to the community with a personal touch of care. On the impact of these handmade hats, she noted, "I want the kids to know someone cares." Claudia spent the last 12 months on this project, crafting cozy children's hats for donation. "Knitting these hats makes me feel good. Knowing that I am giving. It’s absolutely my pleasure to do this."
"You’ll find it is worth giving. The little things can make anyone happy...I’m not a philosophical person, but I know family comes first. And staying connected to the community is important." Claudia's commitment to making a positive impact through small, personal contributions serves as a heartening reminder that even the simplest gestures can bring joy and warmth to those in need, especially during the holiday season. JFS is extremely grateful to Claudia for her incredible dedication and the labor of love she poured into knitting hats for the children in our community. Read more here>>
