Keeping warm from the tips of their toes to the top of their heads. Many thanks Trudy S for this nice donation of 3 knitted hats and a pair of knitted slippers. We appreciate your on going support of our cold homeless here in Central Ohio.Weather may be starting to improve in many of your locals, but even as weather starts to improve during the day, it's still cold and damp at night when you're living in the elements...so please keep your fingers busy with yarn crafting wonderful knitted and crocheted items to warm Ohio's homeless and others in need. We maybe cool and wear a hat outside, once indoors with the heat on, we're able to remove it; that's not necessarily the case for many people. We do, knit and crochet and collect items all year long. They are used and very much needed about 9 months of the year. The other 3 months we're still busy stock piling to not be caught off guard when those in need feel the changes in weather so much more then we do with a roof over our heads.
