Giving

When you buy a pattern through VectorKnits.com, a portion of each sale is set aside for charity. These amounts are totaled and donated to an environmental or animal charity. Purchases between now and the end of December 2022 will contribute to Shades of Hope Wildlife Refuge, an incredible organization located right here in Ontario!

Their mission statement:

"Licensed by the Ministry of Natural Resources and Fisheries and Canadian Wildlife Services, Shades of Hope serves the Greater Toronto Area and other municipalities throughout the South Central Ontario Corridor.  Our Mission is to nurture, treat and rehabilitate injured and orphaned native wildlife with the goal of releasing healthy animals back into their natural habitats.

As commercial and residential growth continues to explode, our wildlife is being pushed aside into ever smaller spaces. Sadly, a large number of wild birds, mammals and reptiles regularly fall victim to road accidents, human cruelty and the scarcity of suitable habitat and food. As the need for rescue of orphaned and injured wild animals increases, Shades of Hope is committed to providing veterinary care, proper nourishment and a safe place to flourish until they can resume their rightful place in nature."
