Donated Supplies help with Meal Preparation for Homeless

WOW!  AnneMarie has done it again with a generous donation.  A case of garbage bags, a case of grocery bags, a case of plastic containers and a case of rain poncho's.  Many many thanks AnneMarie for your on going support.  Rae was thrilled with these items to aid in the extended ministry.  Plastic containers help with meal prep, grocery bags give the homeless something to carry their meals in, and the garbage bags give them something to carry their meager belongings in.  Obviously the rain ponchos help to keep people dry who live out in the elements, as well as those waiting in lines at soup kitchens, those waiting outdoors til time to enter a shelter for the night etc.

Many many thanks AnneMarie.

Where are You and Your Yarn From?

I'm trying to identify where everyone is from, partially for fun. Take a look at the map. Also, believe it will aid me in cases where we have several people with the same name. Please look at the lists of bloggers and non bloggers and see if I have the state you hail from. If not, please leave a comment and let me know.

Additionally, we've had help from Scotland, England, Germany Puerto Rico, Canada, and France! They don't appear on the map, but their help is still greatly appreciated.

Where The People Who Donate Come From, is your state represented?
