Volunteers packing donation boxes

NOVI, Mich. — Local knitters and crocheters have a place to give their work to people in need this month: a donation box at the Novi Public Library.

The box is part of Stitch4ACause, a crochet project started by a high school student who wants to get communities across Michigan making handmade gifts and cold-weather gear for children and women staying at nearby homeless shelters.

The library agreed to host the bin for all of November. Hand-knit or crocheted hats, other winter gear and small toys are welcome.

Donors will find the bin on the right just past the library’s double front doors. The student plans to empty it from time to time during the month and take the items to shelters.

The library is at 45255 Ten Mile Road in Novi. Its cafe is open weekdays from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. for anyone who wants to stay a while after dropping off a donation.
