Buy a Lands’ End Sweater and Help Keep the Homeless Warm

Warm Up America is delighted to partner with Lands’ End to provide families in need with warm hand knitted and crocheted blankets this fall and winter. This is the second year that Lands’ End has conducted its FeelGood Campaign, which provides a way to feel good about shoppping and giving this fall.

For every Lands’ End FeelGood sweater purchased, the company will donate signature FeelGood yarn to Warm Up America. Working with volunteers from The Knitting Guild Association (TKGA), the Crochet Guild of America(CGOA) and the Helping Hands Foundation, which sponsors the Needle Arts Mentoring Program (HHF), Warm Up America expects approximately 64,000 7″ by 9″ sections to be completed which will be joined together to make more than 1,500 afghans.
