Crocheter from Virginia Helps Ohio's Homeless

Look at what a good friend, and long time supporter, Gail B from Virginia has donated!  A gorgeous afghan in what I believe is a shell stitch...very pretty.  She's donated socks, a cotton washcloth, some plastic containers for the meal prep, some very pretty purple yarn(that you know will get put to good use), and some dishtowels and potholders.  Those dishtowels and pot holders will be awesome for the shelters families and or it their moving out packages when they transition from shelter living to their permanent housing .  Very nice Gail, many thanks!

Please keep up the good work.


Have you joined the facebook group yet?  If not, please do.  I post daily there the names of those who've sent boxes as my friendly mail carrier delivers them, and always a link to the post here of the day.  We're working hard to attract more helping hands.  Help us spread the word.

    Beautiful assortment of things Gail. Who would not love to have that beautiful afghan. All necessary items for anyone needing help with a home. Weather in Minnesota is 10 degrees, no let up till the end of March. Makes you aware of what is needed. Thank you.
