The first Knit for Food Knit-a-thon was launched on March 8, 2021, with the goal of raising a total of
$10,000 to be contributed to Feeding America, World Central Kitchen, No Kid Hungry, and Meals on
Wheels. The event was a major success, raising more than $265,000 with 100% of the funds
collected split evenly between the four organizations. Since then knitters have raised over $1.7
million dollars. We anticipate 2026 to be our biggest year ever!
In the United States 48 million people, about one in 7 households (13.7 percent), experience food
insecurity, or lack of access to an affordable, nutritious diet. Food insecurity has become a reality for
even more Americans as the cost of basic food items has increased due to inflation. Far too many
Americans struggle to put food on the table. Our participants are committed to raising funds to help
ease this unnecessary suffering.
On April 11th, 2026, knitters from across the country will join together to participate in 12 hours of
knitting. Everyone is welcome to participate in their choice of craft – it doesn’t have to be knitting.
The critical aspect is raising funds. For those who raise $100 or more there will be morning and
evening Zoom events that will include presentations by each of the four charities, knitting
ergonomics, exercise for knitters, games and knitertainment!
