Afghans Give Hope and Warmth

Look at this very pretty cheerful afghan our good friend and long time supporter AnneMarie from NY crocheted and donated.  It's gorgeous!  Such a pretty afghan and makes me think of sunshine and spring...oh come on Spring.  Afghans provide warmth for sure, but they also provide hope for a brighter future and congratulations on the next phase of your life to our families through Homeless Families Foundation.  As most of you know, families receive afghans when they transition from shelter living to a permanent housing situation.

AND she's been busy knitting and crocheting hats, scarves and fingerless gloves!  Awesome donation that will reach many people in need.  Thank you AnneMarie for your thoughtfulness, your ongoing support of Ohio's Homeless and your generosity.

Many many thanks for all you do for Bridge and Beyond!  (And folks, keep checking in, there's more)
