INCLINE VILLAGE, Nev. – Started by a small group of women who belonged to St. Patrick’s Episcopal Church and enjoyed knitting and crocheting, the Knitters Guild of Incline Village, gathered together to support the Winter Warmth &Wellness campaign on the North Shore of Lake Tahoe.
Members of the Knitters Guild have been creating and donating items for many, many years. This year, Knitters Guild donated more than 150 knitted and crocheted articles, which included hats, scarves, blankets, cowls, shawls, among other items.
More than 25 years ago, Winter Warmth & Wellness (as it’s known today and for the past 10 years), was part of a clothing distribution during a Thanksgiving food sharing program to needy families in the North Lake Tahoe community. Items such as gently used winter wear, household necessities, personal care items, hand-made hats, gloves, scarves, blankets and more are collected at locations throughout the north shore of Lake Tahoe, with drop off points at a variety of locations, including Village Church, St. Francis of Assisi Catholic Church, Cornerstone Community Church, St. Patrick’s Episcopal Church, and North Tahoe Event Center…
