Helping Hands from Illinois Help Ohio's Homeless

Thank you Karen J from Illinois for this awesome donation of crocheted hats and scarves.  Look at the nice variety both in color and in size of Karen's hats!  And special thanks for taking time to tag them with size.  I am asking everyone to do that, please and thanks.  It saves enormous time both at my end and again the time of the volunteers at the various shelters.

 .  Keep up the good work, Karen.

    THANK YOU KAREN! what a nice selection of hats and scarves. Glad to see the ones specially for the men. Much needed as this long hard winter winds down. Still many days of cold ahead before we reach the summer nights, and even then the evenings are cool enough to need something warm on your head if you are out in the elements. Will be much appreciated I am sure, Thank you for your caring heart. GOOD JOB.

    Karen thank you so much for this wonderful donation of hats and scarves! I love the fact that you used many manly colors as the men folk are often forgotten. Thanks so much for using your time talent and resources to help the homeless and working poor! Your kindness will not be forgotten! Keep your hook flying!
