Spread Hope and Nourishment This Giving Tuesday with Ewe-nique Knits!

Greetings, fellow yarn enthusiasts!

This Giving Tuesday, Ewe-nique Knits is proud to partner with Forgotten Harvest, metro Detroit’s largest food rescue organization, dedicated to relieving hunger in our community. With over 542,000 people, including 174,000 children and 70,000 seniors, living in poverty across Macomb, Oakland, and Wayne counties, Forgotten Harvest’s mission to provide fresh and nutritious food free of charge has never been more vital.

This year, we’re setting a shop goal to raise $2,000 to help Forgotten Harvest rescue and deliver surplus food to those who need it most. Whether you make a virtual donation or contribute in-store, every dollar brings hope to our neighbors facing food insecurity. As a heartfelt thank-you, each donor will receive a $10 coupon to use at our store in December. Just let us know you've made a donation & we'll share our coupon!

Together, as a community of compassionate crafters, we can make a difference. Let’s fill tables with nourishment, hearts with hope, and continue spreading warmth through our stitches and generosity.

Thank you for your support in helping us bring comfort and care to metro Detroit this holiday season!
