I am the Health Education Coordinator at Heartland Health Centers- an FQHC with clinics along the north and northwest sides of Chicago. We have a knitting program that has been running for a few years at our clinic in Rogers Park (1300 W Devon Ave), but our instructor is unable to lead the class starting in the fall! The group normally runs on Tuesdays from 1:15-2:30, year round, and though we have some experienced knitters, most are new to knitting and want to learn how! I was wondering if your group had anyone who would be interested in helping with the program or if you know of any other programs/ people to reach out to? Please contact us if you, or anyone you know, can help. We will put you in touch with the requestor.
WCKG recently received a request from a parent who need help in repairing a child's well-loved toy. If you can help, please email WCKG and we will connect you with the parent. |
