Donations for Homeless

Hats, socks, mittens, and ponchos! Awesome donation from the new helping hands of Dorothy M. Thank you Dorothy for your thoughtful donation, it is so very much needed and appreciated. A another big Thank You for tagging your hats so nicely with size, that is soooooooooo helpful. I can't possibly try them all on, or guesstimate by looking when I sort and bag. AND not only does it save me tremendous time, it saves time for all the volunteers at the varies family shelters and those who help distribute the donations to those in need.

We're thrilled to have you join us and look forward to seeing you here often on Bridge and Beyond. Welcome to the group, and please don't be shy about participating on the blog with comments.
