Greetings Knit-a-thon Team Member!

Thanks SO VERY much for joining in on the Knit for Food Knit-a-thon! I am in AWE of you all! We have already raised over $65,000 and we have 4 weeks to go!!! Don't forget we have a Facebook Group to keep ourselves motivated and sharing ideas! We are doing this TOGETHER!!!

1. When you signed up you should have received an e-mail with some initial tips and tricks for fundraising. Please let us know if you didn't get that and/or want to have us resend it. That is easy peasy! Weekly group e-mails are linked at the bottom to make it easy to find information already sent out.

2. Last week's exciting news is that we got permission from all 4 organizations we are fundraising for to use their logos... that was not a small feat to get approved : )! I've updated some of the social media images that you can download here! I do find that the most effective posts use photos YOU take of your knitting! If you can get someone to get a photo (or video!) of you knitting that is a great way to share your participation.

3. I keep forgetting to tell you we have a hashtag #knitforfood. If you do the Instagram thing please use it!

4. By POPULAR demand... we now have MERCH! If you want a mug or a t-shirt or a journal for the event... here you go! This is an extra and we'll use the proceeds to pay for graphic design. Any funds leftover will roll into the total amount we raise. It is certainly not necessary to get merch, but FUN!

The most important thing we can do right now is GROW! We'll do that by YOU sharing YOUR participation and inviting others to join YOU and/or support YOUR knitting effort! The more people participate, the more money we raise and that means more food gets to people who need it.

Huge Thanks Friends!

Laura and the Knit For Food Team!
