Warmth and Snuggly Donated

 In yesterdays post I mentioned a church group with Dorna and Casey, and them spreading the news to other church members.  These little blankets were made by Stephanie and Lena D in the same church group.  The two pinks will make a little girl feel loved, as well as warm and red will work nicely for a little boy.  These are fleece blankets.

 More pink for the wee ones and rainbow blanket could work for a infant girl or boy.  These ladies are all from Canton Ohio.  We welcome you all and are thrilled to have more helping hands.  Keep up the good work.

**Reminding you all to please make sure your knitted and crocheted items are made from washable fibers.  Things requiring special care, and or dry cleaning such as silks, wool, suede etc aren't appropriate for our folks living outdoors and or shelters without means to do more then the very basic laundry.**
