Angels 4 Warmth Inc. was founded by Shannon Clarke in 1999 filling a need to “help the less fortunate to keep warm one stitch at a time.”
Angels 4 Warmth Inc. is a registered non-profit organization in Regina that makes afghans, quilts, hats, mitts, toques, scarves, neck warmers, lap robes, chemo caps, preemie caps, shrugs, slippers, leg warmers and a variety of other knitted and crocheted items which are distributed to those in need through various organizations in Regina.
The group consists of approximately 90 volunteer members of various ages composed mostly of seniors who regularly contribute hand-made items. It is a way of giving back to the community, which is also a rewarding accomplishment.
These gifts are greatly appreciated by other recipients: Allan Blair Cancer Centre, Sunset Extendicare Home, Regina General Hospital, Canadian Red Cross, Carmichael Outreach Inc., Four Directions Community Health Centre, Hope’s Home, North Central Community Association, Salvation Army, Souls Harbour Rescue Mission, Wascana Rehabilitation, William Booth Special Care, Women’s Shelters and various care homes.
