Oakland Children's Hospital

With your help we were able to donate over $6500 worth of crafts supplies and books for the Oakland Children's Hospital Family Resource Center! The hospital said, "We found the materials to be of the highest quality craft supplies we have received in the nine years we have been working with families. The yarn and needles, kits and books were all beautiful and directly benefit the patients and families by helping to relieve stress, alleviate boredom and inspire creativity during times of pain and challenge." Many thanks to Martingale Press for their generous help with donations.
