An Idea for Homeless Women

Spotted this about a week ago on Facebook and thought what an awesome idea it was.  Something perhaps everyone could do locally?  I'll be checking with Rae on this to see if she would like some from Bridge and Beyond as she makes her meal deliveries on Sat mornings and let you know what I learn.  I do know, personal hygiene products for women is always in short supply at the various shelters, but don't know if they want purses.

Mittens/Gloves/Wrist Warmers: 113

Knitted Hats from Florida Help Ohio's Homeless

Thank you Cheryl G for this thoughtful donation of warm knitted hats for Ohio's homeless.  Cheryl and I have known each other for lots of years...we graduated from High School back in 1969 together.  She no longer lives here in central Ohio; but in sunny Florida.  However, when she visits she always brings along something to help us here on Bridge and Beyond.  This style of knitted hat is quite good in fitting many different sized heads because it's an extremely stretchy pattern.

Send us some sunshine when you get back to the sunny south!  Travel safe my friend, and many thanks!

Donating Yarn to Help Ohio's Homeless

Please join me in welcoming our newest pair of helping hands, Frances P from New Jersey for this thoughtful and generous donation of yarn.  What a wonderful mix of colors.  This yarn will be used no doubt to assemble afghans from donated squares.  Though...sometimes I use it to give away to others who are in need of yarn to help our cause.  In any case, it will be put  to good use.

Many thanks Frances!  Hope to see you here often on Bridge and Beyond, and again many thanks for your thoughtful donation.

Where are You and Your Yarn From?

I'm trying to identify where everyone is from, partially for fun. Take a look at the map. Also, believe it will aid me in cases where we have several people with the same name. Please look at the lists of bloggers and non bloggers and see if I have the state you hail from. If not, please leave a comment and let me know.

Additionally, we've had help from Scotland, England, Germany Puerto Rico, Canada, and France! They don't appear on the map, but their help is still greatly appreciated.

Where The People Who Donate Come From, is your state represented?
