Whether it is a veteran who have valiantly served our country, newborns whose mothers are children themselves with few resources, the elderly afflicted with Alzheimer’s, the homeless, those suffering from the complications of aids, or others needing help, the members of CareWear have risen year after year to the challenge of making lives a little better and brighter.

Completed items may include adult /children /toddler /baby – hats, scarves, mittens, gloves, booties, sweaters, lap robes, blankets, M-XL afghans & chemo caps.

 

  • Knitter / Crocheter – will volunteer to make knitted or crochet items for those in need according to program guidelines/requests
  • CareWear Support – assist staff in the coordination of program meetings, organizing of inventory in preparation for annual distribution and/or entering hours into an electronic database.

 

In New Castle County, CareWear members meet monthly to turn in their completed items and when available, pick-up yarn. Items are then sorted and stored awaiting the yearly distribution which occurs in November. To donate funds to purchase funds for the volunteers, please visit: www.degives.org/orgs/the-carewear-project

In Sussex County, CareWear members meet quarterly and turn in completed items one time a year during the month of December.
