Knot Just a Hobby: Crafting for Mental Health

Help me give my students crocheting and crafting supplies to manage stress through creativity.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Creel's classroom raised $504

This project is fully funded

My Project

My incredible students, who truly have hearts of gold, are excited to use crocheting and crafting materials to create hats and scarves for a local homeless shelter.

This project will not only allow them to express their creativity and relieve stress, but crafting itself is a fantastic way to support mental health.

As they work with yarn and tools, they'll find mindfulness and joy in the process, all while giving back to our community.

It warms my heart to see them find fulfillment in both their crafting and in making a difference for those in need. Together, they’re not just creating beautiful items; they’re spreading kindness and compassion!

Ms. Creel Institute Health Professionals at Cambria Heights Grades 9-12
