Attention All Knitters
The tzedakah (charity), A Package From Home, is looking for handknit
hats to send to Hayalim Bodedim (literally "lone soldiers", or
Israeli soldier with no family in Israel). The weather is getting colder
and time is of the essence. All hats must be made to pattern in
order to conform with army regulations. If you are interested in
knitting a hat and sending it to Israel, please call our office and we
will provide you with a pattern and an address to mail the hat. Now
is the time to do a "Knitzvah!"
