A REMINDER THAT PROFIT ISN'T EVERYTHING . VOLUNTEERS
OUR COMMUNITY OF VOLUNTEERS COME FROM ALL WALKS OF LIFE
More and more schools, community organisations, companies and individuals are becoming involved in knitting and crafting Wraps, providing transport and freight, or supplying us with yarn, and for this we thank you.
LET US KNOW
If you would like others in the community to know where you meet, let us know - we can add you to our knitting group venue list.
WHAT'S HAPPENING AT THE WAREHOUSE 2012
Assembled Wraps waiting to be packed
Since our very successful Knit Ins throughout NSW we continue to receive huge numbers of Wraps, many of these being delivered by Rotary Club volunteers to our warehouse in Alexandria.
Over 5,000 Wraps have been despatched recently to three of our major aid agencies: World Vision has taken a shipment of 2,000 Wraps, Crossroads International have accepted 2,000 Wraps which will be distributed to disaster victims in the Pacific region, the eastern block countries, through the help of Mission Without Borders, have received 1,500 Wraps. These will be given to 75 children's and aged care homes.

Blankets for Mongolia
It's heartening to know how widespread supporters of Wrap with Love are. Here is a photo from a group in Cairns (Fibrecrafters FNQ) who crotcheted Wraps to be sent to Mongolia.
STORIES
We always enjoy hearing stories that come back from the people we have been able to help as well as from our volunteers. Please share your stories with us.
As a non profit organisation, the loving time and materials contributed by our volunteers is not only worth its weight in Gross Domestic Product, but it also provides buckets of enthusiasm and inspiration for us.
