Rosary Army is a non-profit apostolate that gives away free all-twine knotted rosaries. You can also find instructions on their site on how to make your own rosaries, which you can give away yourself, or send to them for them to give away.

Interestingly enough (I don't know how the find the time), they're very involved in SQPN. You can watch That Catholic Show, which is a humourous show that explains and defends Catholic teaching on topics such as confession and the priesthood, or listen to their weekly podcast.
