A call has been made for the community to throw its support behind the Guardian Pharmacy's Guardian Angel Knitting Program, which aims to support children in need this winter.

The Australian program has seen volunteers from across the nation generously donate their time to craft more than two million knitted garments for children enduring hardship.

This year, the program is not only marking its milestone 15th anniversary, but celebrating a proud partnership with Australian not-for-profit organisation Save the Children.

Save the Children Australia is the nation's leading independent and emergency relief development organisation for children.

The organisation is striving to achieve a future in which every child attains the right to survival, protection, development and participation.

Respected Wagga pharmacist Michael O'Reilly, of Michael O'Reilly Chemist at 66 Baylis Street, is hoping local residents will again embrace the program.

People interested in taking part in the program can pick up a free knitting book which contains step-by-step instructions for a number of different garments from the pharmacy and free ball of wool. 

Those people who may not have the time or skills required to complete the various crocheted or knitted items can still support the cause by donating wool to the project.

Guardian Pharmacy ambassador and Australian doctor and television personality Dr Cindy Pan says she is proud to endorse a program that has been committed to helping disadvantaged children for the last 15 years.
