Are you ready to become a Craftivist?

Imagine sewing a reusable menstrual pad that helps a middle school girl in rural Western Africa stay in school. Or crocheting a winter hat that warms the head of an unhoused man on LA’s Skid Row, or one fighting for freedom in Ukraine. Crafting Change is a 501c3 non-profit that matches a crafters love of crafting with tangible good works for those in need. Crafters becoming activists-or ‘craftivists.’  The ultimate matchmaker~Crafting Change takes the items lovingly crafted by volunteers and delivers them to well vetted organizations helping those in need. Every item crafted ends up in the hands-or on the heads-of someone who needs it. Changing lives by crafting.

Crafting Change has delivered over 138,000 items made by craftivists in all 50 states, Puerto Rico and Canada to organizations in every state, and internationally to Canada, Nepal, Ghana and Ukraine.
