The Ecumen Lakeshore Knitting Group in Duluth is using its talents to help support the Safe Haven Shelter in a joint project with the Duluth Woman’s Club.

A story in the Duluth Budgeteer News tells how the knitters are using yarn provided by the Woman’s Club to create a variety of handmade gifts such as caps, scarves, mufflers and slippers.

The shelter offers safety for women who are battered and their children, and works to end violence against women.
