With a record-shattering turnout in April’s Minnesota Yarn Shop Hop, local stores were able to tie together a whopping $37,500 for area food shelves, including Maple Grove-based CROSS. While the annual fundraiser has generally accepted food donations along with monetary contributions, this year’s event focused on cash gifts.
“This is important because people aren’t as cognizant of donations to local food shelves in the springtime,” says Bobbi Kreb of Amazing Threads in Maple Grove, one of the yarn shops that participated in the hop. “We still accept food, but cash buys a whole lot more.”
