Donation Nights Requirements
Yarn Angels South Bay conducts three donation nights each year, typically in the spring, late summer, and early December; these afford the opportunity to meet several representatives of the organizations we serve and provide them with the results of our members' handiwork and dedication. See Calendar for more information and location.
Thank you, volunteers, for your generous support and dedication. Your contributions, including beauty baskets and bags for moms, kids, and adults, truly make a difference in our community. We are grateful for your kindness!
School supplies are a focus at the August donation night. In mid-July each year, office supply stores (Office Depot, Staples, Walgreen's, Target, etc.) begin selling school supplies for PENNIES (check for flyers in your Sunday paper).
At the December Donation night, NEW toys (infant thru teen), batteries, art supplies, etc., are a welcome addition to the handcrafted items donated. These will go to children and teenagers who may not otherwise receive holiday gifts.
We accepts donations of NEW clothing for women and children - all sizes.
Age-appropriate donations of games, books, puzzles, DVD's, CD music, coloring book and supplies for pediatric patients from birth to 21 years old are welcome.
