Due to the overwhelming response to Project 8 :: Gulf Coast Oil Spill, The Institute for Marine Mammal Studies will be sharing the donations with the Audubon Nature Institute and the Mississippi Sandhill Crane National Wildlife Refuge. Now we will not only be supporting the clean up efforts of the dolphins and turtles, but of other marine mammals and birds as well. Keep those donations coming!
To sign up for Project 8, please leave a comment in this post. A huge thank you to everyone who has signed up and helped to spread the word. You are making a difference! If you prefer to make a monetary donation to the IMMS, please click on this link. Thanks so much.

As of this time (7/20/2010) we have suspended donations due to meeting the needs of the gulf coast rescue organizations! Please email jade at jade@crafthope.com if you have questions. Thanks so much!

I work in a preschool/after care program for school age children. We would be very interested in getting more information as the children here would love to help.
Thanks

Together we can all help make a difference! I’m so down to help!
I will be happy to send some! I’m a dressmaker and I have a HUGE scrap pile of fabrics… I plan to cut them down to size, serge the fabrics that would otherwise fray (and leave the knits with just a cut edge) and should be able to send a large bundle shortly. I’ve been saving piles of scraps to small to use for clothing for years, unsure when they would be useful. Now is that time.
I’ll be sending some in from my knitting group. Thanks for coordinating, it always feels good to help out!
I would love to help. I have piles and piles of rags I am able to donate along with a few bottles of Dawn. Thank for letting me be a part of this.
working on some cloths.
I am making my second 10″x10″ cloth.
I would like to know if a donation of a gift card to purchase dish soap would be a good idea.
I will make some wash rags from a flannel cotton sheet.
Please tell me where to send them.
I want to help with this project. Even though I live in North Alabama, the Gulf Coast is very dear to my heart.
I will knit as many as I can to mail by July 4th
I am really happy to knit clothes or make cotton clothes can you please send me details regarding sizes
I don’t know if my credit card donation made it. Can you tell me.

I am collecting cloths from friends and church members. I plan to do a large mailing on August 1. Please confirm the correct address as to where to send them?
Thank you.
I sent in 3 large flat rate boxes a month ago . I made gloves out of old towels and sweat shirts.Also I sent in 6 to 8 bottles of dawn soap. They were sent to the Pensacola address and I do hope this helped out in the efforts of cleaning the wildlife !
To add to my comment above I think if I remember correctly I made 300 gloves! Dee
Is there something a willing group of fifth graders can do? We would love to join this…
