Start a From Hooks to Hope Chapter

Bring handmade comfort to children in hospitals while building a service-focused community at your school. Starting a chapter is a meaningful way to turn creativity into impact and connect students through compassion, leadership, and giving back.

What does a chapter do?

From Hooks to Hope chapters bring students together to crochet handmade plushies and other comfort items for pediatric patients. Chapters may also organize donation drives, host beginner-friendly workshops, recruit volunteers, and help expand the organization’s reach in their local community.

Whether your members are experienced crocheters or complete beginners, a chapter creates space for everyone to contribute in a meaningful way.
