Crochet Owls for a cause today:"' Give a Hoot, Make an Owl''!

There is no end to the number of different crochet for a cause opportunities that are available. We can’t participate in them all but it’s good to give your time (and yarn) to a few of them each year. It allows you to crochet something new, give something to someone in need and use your craft in a way that you can really be proud of. If you’re looking for a new cause to crochet for then you might want to check out “Give a Hoot, Make an Owl”.




Give a Hoot asks you to crochet one or two owls to donate to “watch over” children in need. Owls, of course, stay awake all night and the idea is that this handmade creature can bring some comfort to kids who are up in the middle of the night due to illness or fear. As the crocheter you can choose where your donation goes. One of the options is to kids in foster care.

Volunteers knit plastic bags into sleeping mats for soldiers

At first it was hard to find enough bags, “But once we tell people what we’re doing, we have plenty,” Mrs. Colanna said.
In four years, they estimate that 133,000 plastic bags have been recycled into 168 sleeping mats that have gone all over the world.

Soldiers use the mats beside their cots to shake the sand off their feet to keep their cots clean, said Jane Colanna of Economy. And, the mats can be folded and stored in knapsacks.


Recently mats were sent to Panama, as part of the Thomas and Linda McCormack Panama Foundation, where surplus American medical supplies help the impoverished.


“The doctors would be standing on the dirt floor to operate, if they didn’t have these mats,” said Patty Mandell of Cranberry, as she crocheted plastic bags into a mat that looked like a braided rug. Logos and other print on multi-colored bags add texture. She is reminded of growing up in Indiana, where she learned how to crochet in the fifth grade.

Mats have also been sent to Africa, Brazil, Haiti, Jamaica, Honduras and Panama as well as Allegheny and Beaver Counties. Another newspaper article, one about the devastation of plastic bags on the environment, inspires them to keep going.
