Raising money for Wrap With Love

Wrap With Love receives a lot of community support, especially from  the Sydney City Council  which, through their Accommodation Grants Program,  provides office and warehouse premises valued at $30,000,  at Alexandria -  the centre of all things WWL. But as always, extra funds are needed for all sorts of other expenses. One of our local community groups "Wheel 'n' Weft" has a twice yearly exhibition and sale of beautiful handmade articles - everything from knitted garments to jewellery and paintings.

A few weeks ago, the proceeds of the door entry and their raffle were to be donated  to WWL.  Along with many others, a  couple of us from the Epping Library Knitting Group volunteered to do a shift in the foyer at the Thornleigh Community Centre , keeping an eye on the WWL rugs on display, and answering questions about WWL's activities. I received a phone call yesterday from the exhibition organiser to thank us and to say that they were able to donate $1,000 to WWL. What a tremendous donation from the local community! And  a big thank you to our members who helped out.
