What is Warm Up America! (WUA!)
Welcome to Warm Up America! the charity that has warmed peoples' lives since 1991. It started in a small Wisconsin town with neighbors knitting and crocheting afghans for neighbors in need. Thanks to the creativity of founder Evie Rosen who came up with the idea of having volunteers knit or crochet small sections and then others join them together, the idea quickly caught on. Today Warm Up America distributes warm afghans, caps and other items to tens of thousands of people, thanks to the generosity of knitters and crocheters around the country.
How to get involved:
- crocheting or knitting one or more 7" by 9" sections for Warm Up America!
- joining sections into completed afghans,
- donating yarns and needles/hooks to groups in your community,
- contributing money to expand WUA! to groups nationwide.
