Shawls From the Heart is a recently founded non-profit organization based in Woburn. Our goal is to provide knitted and crocheted shawls and blankets for women dealing with a serious diagnosis such as cancer, heart disease, or other life-altering illness. Our shawls are also for those who are grieving from the loss of a loved one or going through a traumatic time and would benefit from the comfort our shawls would provide. In essence, we would like to provide a "knitted hug" for those who need it most.

We are currently looking for knitters and crocheters willing to donate their time to create a shawl or blanket. If you are interested or would like more information about volunteering, please visit our web site at www.shawlsfromtheheart.org.
