Crocheted Donations and Personal Care Items Important Donation for Homeless

Thank you Barbara F for this thoughtful donation of warm goodies for our homeless here in Ohio.  Barbara has been busy, she tells me in her note that the colder it gets, the more she crochets.  Perfect!

Barbara has been busy crocheting scarves and hats.  She's also included much needed personal care items.  Folks, a couple of weeks ago I posted that one of the most overlook items for shelters in feminine hygiene products, so am pleased to say Barbara has included some in this donation.  I can't imagine what that's like, to be cold, to want a bath and be in need of personal hygiene products.

Keep up the good work Barbara!

2015 Donations:
Hats: 62+7=69
Scarves:20+2=22
Mittens: 21
Slippers: 20

    VERY NICE BARBARA. Lots of good stuff here. Hats look really nice and warm. Guy colors too. Always my favorites. Had planned to send some personal care stuff with my box, may have to do that yet as an after thought:+) Senior moments!:+)
    Snow is falling here now, but our 3 to 5 inches have been cut back to 1 in. Spring weather and melting all next week. Good news. GOD BLESS THE HOMELESS.marj in minnesota

    Thanks for your support with such wonderful comments Marj, much appreciated. Glad to hear you're getting a break, weather wise. Like you...I always am happy to receive the colors appropriate for the men.

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?
