Donating Loomed Hats to Help the Homeless

Thank you Susan A for this thoughtful donation of loomed hats and crocheted cotton washcloths, and soap!  These loomed hats have a nice thick brim and will be nice and warm.  LOVE the nice dark color choices.  The dark colors work so well for everyone, any gender and any age, PLUS they don't show the dirt which is an added plus.  Homeless prefer darker colors, as they don't like to call attention to themselves.  Susan is our newest pair of helping hands.  Thrilled to have you join us Susan, please keep up the good work.  Look forward to seeing you here often on Bridge and Beyond.

Crocheting for the Homeless

 Thank you Marjorie M for this awesome donation and for your on going support of the cause here on Bridge and Beyond.  Marjorie has been a faithful supporter for Ohio's homeless and others in need in many ways.  She uses her skillful hands to crochet and donate warm items, she includes lots of much needed and appreciated personal care items.  Additionally she is ever diligent in visiting and supporting the blog with her thoughtful comments and cheering on other big hearted folks who donate.

 Lots of different colored crocheted cotton washcloths, some for the ladies and some for the men.  Perfect!  She's also included warm socks so very much in need.

I attended the Ohio State Footfall game the other day, and can tell you how uncomfortable I was with cold wet feet.  We were out for a good part of the day and feet simply don't dry when it's raining....even though we had rain gear on that doesn't protect ones feet.  Knowing I could get warm and dry later certainly helped.  Our friends living out in the elements don't have the luxury of knowing in a few hours they'll be warm and dry, so socks are ALWAYS a huge plus.

Many thanks Marjorie, please keep up the good work.

*Folks if you notice I rolled the brim down on one hat and up in the other so you can see the versatility of this style hat.*

Use Your Hands for Charity

I spotted this awhile back folks on Facebook and it seemed so appropriate to share with you all.  

As you knit, crochet and or loom add a prayer or two for those we serve.

Bless you all for your hard work, it is truly appreciated.
