Cubs for Kids  http://www.cubsforkids.com/default.htm  say, “Put a smile on the face of a homeless child.”

Cubs for Kids provide the teddy bear.  You can knit a sweater, hat, and scarf for the bear so that a 3 to 6 year old child in a homeless shelter will feel love.

Knitting Patterns (for machine and by hand) and where to send finished items (they accept them year round; distribute them to shelters in early December) are on Cubs for Kids site.
