Thank Bunny for your on going support of our cause. Bunny has been knitting, crocheting, and donating to Ohio's Homeless since the beginning of this blog and this project. I'm very grateful for her support, her skilled hands, her big heart, and her friendship.
A cute knitted hat and 8 squares are pictured above, all will be put to good use, as always.
August is typically a hot month around the country and so it may be hard to think warm, but in our continuing effort to stay ahead of the need, we're doing just that. We're thinking warm hats, warm hats, suitable color and size for adult men. Men who live outdoors need warm hats about 9 months of the year in this area of the country. Some of the hats collected during our August focus will go to our Bridge People when Rae prepares and takes food to them on Sat mornings, others will go to Faith Mission to distribute when men come and go with a nights lodging, and others will go to The Family Shelter I've begun to mention that house 50 families.
Think dark colors, and naturally nothing lacy or open.

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.

Sandy puts them all together.
ReplyDeleteThanks Bunny for answering, been out of town and so haven't been on line much. Just got back last night and am now trying to play catch up, with unpacking, laundry, emails etc.
ReplyDeleteWow - Sandy must REALLY have flying fingers! I've got 13 men's hats ready to send.... now to find the right container! I think this will fulfill my personal "Hundred Hat Goal". Come on folks -- make yourself a goal for Sandy and beat the cold weather!
