Hooks and Needles donates 53 bears to pregnancy center

FALLBROOK – In response to a request from Carolyn Koole, director of the Fallbrook Pregnancy Resource Center, the Hooks and Needles group of the Fallbrook Blanket Project created and donated 53 stuffed bears. Each crocheted or knitted bear was made differently, and the pregnancy resource center will be giving them to needy and deserving individuals in their care.

The Hooks and Needles group meets 10 a.m. to noon every Monday in the community room at the Fallbrook Library. The Fallbrook Blanket Project also sponsors a teen group 3 p.m. to 5 p.m. every Wednesday and a Spanish-speaking group 10 a.m. to noon Fridays.

All groups were organized to create blankets and items to be given to the less fortunate, including women’s shelters, veteran’s organizations, senior care and the food pantry. Participants also work on their own projects.

The public is welcome to attend any group to work on their own project or to learn to crochet or knit. All groups are free, and since all the blankets are given away, the group always welcomes donations of yarn. For more information, contact Carmen Willard at (314) 803-0986.
