Another Group Looking for Charity Knit Items

I recently found this information on the Ravelry Charity Knitting group.

Stitching for One Nation Walking Together is currently seeking items for their current ‘Warding Off the Cold Project’. The items most needed are hats, scarves, mittens, socks, cowls, lap throws, shawls, blankets or anything else that helps us retain warmth.

The items donated are sent to the various Indian Reservations in 8 Rocky Mountain States.
Please mail any items to:

Project Amigo

I've been looking for an on-going charity knitting project which will allow me to use all the small balls of different weight yarns I have left from other projects. 

I found this: https://www.projectamigo.org/ They are looking for volunteers to knit or crochet five or six inch squares (any color, pattern or yarn type). They will be sewn into afghans and distributed to poor families of students in Mexico who are being sponsored by Project Amigo www.projectamigo.org . This is a charity that supports students from Colima in rural western Mexico so that they can create their own educational opportunities and better their quality of life. Instructions and details can be found here: www.srbrown.info/afghans.

I'll begin work on these after the holidays and the end of the Little Hats, Big Hearts challenge.
