Fiber Artists / Volunteers

Our army of committed fiber artists is an amazing group of volunteers who give their time, energy, love, and resources to make each and every donation bear by hand. We truly couldn’t fulfill our Mission without them.

Would you like to put your crochet/Amigurumi skills to important work and become a volunteer to support our Mission? (We sure could use you!)

*Are you a Middle/ High School Crochet Club? Girl Scout Troop looking for a community outreach badge opportunity? Women’s guild? Crochet club? We’d love to connect with you. Send us an email through our contact page.

Guidelines for Each Bear:

For safety and consistency, please follow these guidelines when making your bears.

Thank you!

Hook Size Info.
(We know it’s hard to read but if it’s enlarged it distorts the image. The awareness of hook size discrepancies is worth noting.)

We couldn’t do this without you. Sincerely,
