BERLIN, CT -- For 10 years now, Comcast employees based in the Western New England headquarters in Connecticut, along with their friends and family, have knitted and crocheted for a cause. This year the group handmade over 260 hats and scarves, most of which were donated to Operation Gratitude, a non-profit organization that distributes care packages to active-duty troops, as well as veterans, wounded heroes and emergency first-responders. Over 2,000 pieces have been made and donated since the campaign began.
“This labor of love is more than just work,” said Vicky Galo, talented knitter and Comcast Administrative Assistant who has spearheaded the effort since it began. “Donors not only dedicate their time, but also use their own cash to purchase yarn to create these unique one of a kind unconditional gifts of love. I am humbled.”
