Project Welcome Home

Another completed afghan for project "Welcome Home." The Homeless Families Foundation cares for many people. Putting a roof over the heads of families in need. They get counseling, job training and more while they maintain in temporary housing/shelter style living. It's not easy, but Homeless Families does so much good. They get the kids to and from school, get them additional tuitoring and have safe after school activities while Mom or Dad, or Mom and Dad work at getting back on their feet.

Then the big day comes when they move as a family into their new home. We mark that special occasion by giving them an afghan that's been knitted or crocheted or both. Our way to say best of luck to you in the future and congrats for reaching it to this milestone, let us celebrate your hard work with you.

I had some help naming this afghan, End of Summer, which since it's now September seems to be timely.
