I am not going to tell all of the details here because I want you to go get the issue and read more! But I did want to give a special shout and some clickable links for this organization and to help Joe out with a new goal.

First, the organization Joe is helping out, S.A.C.K. (Supporting A Community with Kindness). This organization was founded in 2017 by Stacy Wiener. The group promotes cleanliness worldwide by handing out bars of soap with crocheted and knitted soap sacks. If you would like to knit or crochet some yourself to help out, head here for all the info you need for donating and for some sack patterns as well.

Second, Joe King is working to reach his next big milestone: 10,000 soap sacks! Let’s lend a hand and send Joe some yarn to help him reach this next big goal. He would love to get some 100% cotton yarn donations from you all. So raid your stash and then shoot Joe an email at: Joescrochetedgoodness@gmail.com.

Don’t have yarn in your stash but would still like to send him some, head on over here for 100% cotton yarn at great prices!

PLEASE do not spam Joe. He is working hard and for a good cause. Only email him if you would legitimately like to donate yarn to him and the cause. Christmas may be past but the time for giving and sharing never does!
