Knox, Bobcaygeon, Ont.

BobcaygeonWednesday is a big day at Knox. That’s when the Milk Bag Mats crocheting group meets to turn old milk bags into new sleeping mats and prayer mats for Haiti and other needy countries. It’s also the day the Knox Frocks group meets to transform old pillow cases and fabric scraps into dresses and boys’ shorts for children in Ghana and Sri Lanka. Intended as a one – day venture, this mission became weekly when donations of materials kept pouring in. Reducing waste, helping others, embracing creativity—Knox has it covered.
