Crocheting to Help Those in Need

Help me give my students 2 knitting machines and yarn so they can complete more projects at a faster pace so we can try and donate some hats, scarves, and socks to those in need. Thank you!

My Project

The knitting machines that I'm requesting will help all my students whether beginners, intermediate or advanced be able to participate in the quick production of multiple items such as hats, scarves, sock, and possibly blankets for those that we see in need. Just as I'm asking for someone to be a Blessing to us, I in return would like for my students to be a Blessing to others. I would like us to see and beautify those who feel as though they have been overlooked because they are less fortunate.
