The Charity Knitters are a group of women who have become good friends, meet weekly to knit and crochet baby blankets for the Christ Child Society for distribution to new need mothers. They also make colorful afghans and shawls for Vitas Hospice patients; red, white and blue for veterans, children’s hats for migrant workers and needy residents of Collier County attending preschool and day care.

They meet every Thursday from 1:00 PM to 3:30 PM at the Parish Center building of San Marco Catholic Church where they share patterns and their expertise as well as lively discussions about books and current events.
