Knit for Food Knit-a-Thon 2026 & Woven Mug Rug Pop-Up

Milford Makers: Join Our Knit-a-Thon Team!

Calling all Milford Makers! It’s time to put our needles, hooks, and hands to work for a great cause. We are officially forming a team for the 2026 Knit for Food Knit-a-Thon on April 11th, and we want you to be a part of it.

Knit for Food is a 12-hour global crafting marathon that raises funds for organizations working to end food insecurity, including Feeding America, World Central Kitchen, No Kid Hungry, and Meals on Wheels. While "Knit" is in the name, this event is open to crafters of all types. Whether you crochet, spin, weave, embroider, or craft in any other way, your participation makes a massive difference.

How to Participate

1. Join the Team: Register and join the "Milford Makers" team on our official Knit for Food fundraising page: https://givebutter.com/knitforfood26/milford-makers
2. Fundraise: After registering, share your personal fundraising page with friends and family. Every dollar raised goes directly to providing meals for those in need.
3. Craft on April 11th: Commit to crafting as much as you can throughout the day!

In-Person Meetup
In addition to the global virtual event, we will be hosting an in-person crafting session on the day of the Knit-a-Thon (April 11th) from 1pm to 4pm at the Milford Public Library. It will be a wonderful way to log some hours together, share snacks, and cheer each other on.

Milford Makes will also be onsite with a Woven Mug Rug Pop-Up and accepting donations of art & craft supplies during the event .
