Ladies, thank you for your magnificent contributions to the wider community over the last twelve months.
A message from Kogo to all our wonderful creative and generous knitters.
Our grateful thanks to Ringwood Clocktower Probus Craft Group (especially Dorothy) for the lovely jumpers and beanies that they so kindly crafted and donated to kogo. We know that the people who receive them will be absolutely thrilled. It gives them an emotional boost to know that someone in the community takes the time and trouble to create such special items to give to people who are suffering hardship.
Our finished garments are distributed through over 300 Community Partner Organisations. These agencies deal with a myriad of people undergoing hardship such as those who are homeless, refugees, children who are at risk, remote indigenous communities, women in refuges and families who are struggling to make ends meet.
Again, thank you so much for being part of our team of wonderful knitters and crocheters and helping us to spread the warmth.
