JOIN OUR INITIATIVE – MAKE, GIVE, LIVE

From time to time, the development of our community requires creative connections that weave together compassion and craftsmanship. We recognize this fundamental human need for both creative expression and meaningful contribution, which is why we’ve established Make, Give, Live – a social enterprise that transforms yarn into warmth, comfort and community connection.

Make, Give, Live brings together crafters who want to use their knitting and crocheting skills to support the wellbeing of others throughout our community. This initiative represents more than just crafting – it’s a movement that:

• Channels creative energy into charitable giving
• Fosters intergenerational connections
• Provides tangible comfort to those in need
• Builds a supportive network of like-minded crafters

All materials are provided, including quality yarns and carefully selected patterns. Our group maintains a welcoming, pressure-free environment where:
• Participants can attend as their schedule allows
• There are no minimum output requirements
• All skill levels are welcomed and valued
• The focus is on enjoyment and community impact

The benefits of joining extend beyond the items created:
For crafters:

• Opportunity to share skills and learn new techniques
• Social connection with fellow fiber artists
• Deep satisfaction of creating for those in need
• Relaxing, therapeutic creative outlet

For the community:

• Handmade items distributed to hospitals, shelters and care facilities
• Intergenerational connections fostered
• Culture of generosity and mutual support

If you’d like to make new friends, share laughter, and use your skills for good, we invite you to contact Katie at Warkworth Library to learn more about Make, Give, Live. Together, we can create warmth – both in the items we make and the connections we build.
