What does it mean to be a member of Community Threads?

Members volunteer their time, hearts, and skills by knitting, crocheting, and sewing handcrafted items for the community. Our combined efforts provide warmth and comfort to those who are ill, in need of something to keep them warm, or who just want to brighten their day.
