The group is called Snuggles, and it works to deliver knitted or crocheted squares to South Africa.
Once there, the group coordinates with women in the country who make the squares into blankets for underprivileged children.
It's something Jennifer Millay helped start after visiting South Africa on a mission in 2010.
That's when she realized the simple need, and came up with a simple solution.
To find out more about the group, call the Bible Education Center at 217-367-2100.
Or email Jennifer Millay at snuggles.sa@gmail.com.
