Our Mission
We believe in the healing power of a simple hug, and our way to deliver that is a snug, comfy blanket.
Our mission is super simple: to make sure that adult cancer patients feel the love and support that comes with being wrapped in a cozy embrace.
We want to be there for them, offering a bit of comfort when they need it most.
We strive to create a community for individuals to come together and use their craft as a way to support adult cancer patients.
About Us
Knitting it together is located in Palos Park, Illinois. The organization began when Christy took note that no such organization existed to support the adult cancer population at her local hospital. Looking around, and seeing the booming generosity aimed at the pediatric population, she made it her mission to ensure that adult patients are not forgotten about. President Christy Loughry founded KnittingItTogether.org to help make a difference and oversees
Blankets and hats are collected locally and distributed to adult oncology patients at a (growing) list of hospitals. Our hope is that this organization will grow to support all of the Chicagoland hospitals and beyond!
