A local charity knitting group needs a place to donate hats and mittens, items Clarkston Rotary Club collects for its Shoes for Kids program ? a perfect match.
“Clarkston gives us so much, we wanted to give back,” said club member Judy Senseney. “And it’s so much fun.”
Rotary provides boots, hats, mittens and other clothing items to local children in need in its Shoes program each December, said Rotarian Mary Sloan.
“This is wonderful, perfect for the club,” Sloan said. “We’re excited about it.”
The club is also knitting socks for Children in Common, a charity for children in orphanages in Russia.
They will be included in care packages along with medical and educational supplies, sweaters, vests, hats, and mittens.
The club meets Fridays, 10:30 a.m.-12:30 p.m. All are welcome. For more information, call 248-620-2491.
