MISSION STATEMENT

Cubs For Kids is an organization founded in 1998 that started out of a love of children and a love of knitting.  The purpose of the organization is to allow knitters to use their craft and leftover yarn to create something that a less fortunate child would treasure forever.

Cubs For Kids provides the bear cub, pattern for the sweater, hat and scarf.  Knitters provide their creativity and extra yarn.  Completed outfits are then collected throughout the year.  In early December, the bear cubs are dressed, gift wrapped, and donated to children ages three to six in homeless shelters in various cities across the country.

Our funding comes from a foundation and corporation who provide the money to purchase and ship the bear cubs.  The knitters provide the handmade clothing.
