About Warm Up America

Warm Up America! (WUA!) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization established in 1991 by Evie Rosen with the mission of mobilizing volunteers to knit and crochet afghans and clothing for those in need. The organization achieves its mission through several key initiatives:

• Promotion and Training: WUA! promotes, trains, and encourages both individuals and groups to participate in its program at a local level. By spreading awareness and providing guidance, the organization fosters a community of volunteers dedicated to its cause.
• Support Services: The foundation offers support and assistance to local volunteers by providing them with essential information and instructional materials. These resources empower volunteers to effectively contribute to WUA!'s efforts.
• Collection and Assembly: WUA! serves as a central collection point for the knitted and crocheted sections contributed by volunteers. The organization oversees the assembly of these sections into completed blankets and garments.
• Distribution: Once the items are assembled, WUA! coordinates with various charitable organizations and agencies to distribute them to homeless individuals and others in need. This ensures that the handmade items reach those who can benefit from them the most.

Through these initiatives, Warm Up America! continues to make a meaningful difference in the lives of individuals facing hardship by providing warmth, comfort, and support.
