Though I know most of us don't knit, or crochet or donate our hand made goodies to receive a thank you or a pat on the back; I wanted to share this hand written thank you from Faith Mission. For those who may not know, we've been donating hand knit and hand crocheted items to Faith Mission for over 3 years. They take care of so many in need. They have a men's only shelter that gives nights here and there to those on the street, they have Nancy Place for women in need with disabilities, and they operate several family shelters. They care for many, and I pleased we've been able to continue to support them and their worthy cause with our items made of love. Each hat, scarf, pair of mittens or slippers truly is appreciated.
Keep up the good work folks.
**Reminder squares should now only be
mailed during the month they are highlighted, at least until I catch up a
bit. I'll sing out to let you know if that changes. November will be
the next time squares can be mailed.**

Thank you for sharing the note from Faith Mission. I know I don't knit to hear a thank you, as most of my knitting is for charities, but it is very nice to hear when someone is thankful. It really makes me wish I could knit all day long.
ReplyDeleteI agree completely with you SSeger. I love knowing we're getting items to people in need.
