Donating hats for Homeless

Woot Woot, look at these numbers climbing with a handful more posts to credit yet for our 2012 year!  Awesome work folks.  So truly needed, and appreciated.

These 10 hats were crocheted and donated by Karen M. from Pennsylvania.  Welcome Karen as our newest pair of helping hands.  We're thrilled to have you join us Karen.  Theses are so nicely made, warm and soft, and offer a good variety in both size and color.  Well done and please keep up the good work.  Hope to see you here often on Bridge and Beyond.

**Remember to use washable fibers ONLY folks for all your donations, no special care fibers please.**

Donations: 2012 

Hats 1024+10=1034  (65 more hats then we donated last year)
Scarves: 662  (191 scarves over what we donated last year)
Slippers: 148 (20 over last year)
Sweaters, Ponchos, Shawls, vests:9
Afghans: 52  (3 short of last year)

Misc Items are not counted individually (such as personal care items, headbands, gators, yarn, wrist warmers/fingerless gloves, face-masks, neck warmers, t-shirts, soap, deodorant, shampoo, toothbrushes, hand and foot warmers Teddy Bears and footies etc)

**I will continue to add numbers to the years totals after Dec 31st, so all donations received by years end will be counted in the year they are received.  Since each donation is a day, they will be some over flow into January.  Thus year end numbers won't be finalized until then.*


All donations regardless of size and number are valued. All donations are appreciated, and all donations keep someone warm. We help, one stitch at a time. YOU truly DO make a difference. THANK YOU!
