As the cooler months approach, Mackay Regional Council Libraries is bringing the community together—one stitch at a time—with the Keep Warm Project. This heartwarming initiative invites locals to help turn donated 20cm squares into cosy blankets for those in need.
In true community spirit, volunteers will gather at library locations to assemble these knitted and crocheted squares into beautiful, handcrafted blankets, which will then be distributed to local organisations supporting vulnerable individuals.
Beyond the warmth these blankets provide, the project offers a chance to connect with like-minded people in a relaxed and social setting. Whether you're a seasoned crafter or just keen to lend a hand, every contribution helps in spreading a little extra kindness this winter.
These handcrafted blankets will be distributed through organisations like CASA and Chances House, which support people experiencing homelessness. With rising numbers of rough sleepers due to the ongoing housing crisis, the need for warmth and comfort has never been greater.
Join Mackay Regional Council Libraries' Keep Warm Project and be part of something truly special—because warmth isn’t just about blankets; it’s about community.
