I heard through the Twitter grapevine recently that an organizatoin called Hats and Hugs from Sandra’s Heart is looking for volunteers to participate in a few programs they are developing, and they sounded like they might be of interest to crafters. First, there is the “hats” connection. According to the site, they are looking for people like crocheters and knitters to make hats for cancer patients. Then the “hugs” connection has to do with sending cards and perhaps small gifts (which I’m guessing could be hand-made, like jewelry) to those in hospitals or nursing homes who might need a little something now and then to show people care.

It looks like this is still in the organizational phase, but if you want more information, you can contact the group through its website.
