Where to drop off your handmade crafts for Project liv

Do you love sewing, crocheting or knitting? Then your hands can help us spread joy, comfort and colour to children living with long-term illness. Together with local Martha associations and craft-friendly businesses, we’ve set up several drop-off points across Finland where you can leave your handmade items for donation.
