If you've missed the last 2 posts, please scroll back. One post compared numbers of donations for mittens, and the other slippers.
Using the same date March 26th for all these reflections. In 2012 we had donated 102 pairs of socks, in 2013 120 pairs...nice bump and thus far this year only 49 pairs. If you're able we'ld love to bump up those numbers. If you have friends who'd like to help but don't knit or crochet, please make the suggestion.
Rain poncho's, another item non knitters and crocheters can donate. Small and lightweight, but such a good item particularly for those living out in the elements. Also come in hand for those waiting for buses which many of our folks living in temporary shelters do as their job searching or getting job training to get back on the feet.
In 2012 by March 26th 2 poncho's were donated, same number for the following year 2013, and thus far this year we've donated 5.
All donations regardless of size and number are valued. All donations are appreciated. The Power of One is awesome, and when we work together The Power of One becomes The Power of Many.
I don't like to see the low numbers. I wonder if paying higher postage is the cause donations are down. Or maybe people don't realize the need is so great.
