Donating to Ohio's Homeless

Thank you Marsha M for this thoughtful donation of knitted goodies.  Marsha has made hats in a variety of sizes, along with those hoodie face hats which will be super nice for the guy living out in the elements.  She also knitted and donated a scarf that matches one of the hats, made a nice set.  

Marsha is our newest pair of helping hands, thrilled to have you join us Marsha, please keep up the good work.  We look forward to seeing you here often on Bridge and Beyond.

Reminders:
*Please include a note with your donation folks with your email, saves me trying to figure out whom you are in order to let you know the mail arrived safe and sound.
**Remember to avoid open stitches where you can put your finger through (v stitches, mile a minute, and granny style type stitches aren't as warm as solid stitches.
***Remember to avoid light colors, pastels, whites, and lots of bold colors as the darker colors serve a wider range of the population we strive to serve
****Please remember to tag hats, slippers, and mittens with size.
