The RISE Project is accepting donations for Knit for Nancy. Who is Nancy? Nancy is any woman or child living in the safe-house at Helpmate, Asheville’s domestic violence agency. Knit for Nancy will be collecting hand-knitted or crocheted scarves, hats, gloves, socks, and other items. You can receive up to four hours of service per item and up to 25 total hours of service per Knit for Nancy drive.

If you would like to knit, but need yarn or knitting needles, please come by the RISE Office in Lower Dodge where we have lots of yarn and needles which have been donated for Knit for Nancy.

We will be accepting items in the RISE Office in Lower Dodge between now and Friday, Dec. 10.  If you have any questions, please feel free to drop by the RISE Office, e-mail us at rise@warren-wilson.edu or check out our website for more information: http://www.warren-wilson.edu/~rise//Knit_For_Nancy.php.
