Crocheted Cotton Washcloths Aids Homeless

Thank you Lisa M from Philly, our newest pair of helping hands.  Like Robin yesterday, Lisa is from the group on Ravelry that rotates what charity they make items for.    WElcome to the group.  Hope to see you here often on Bridge and Beyond.

Crocheted Cotton Washcloths have so many uses.  They are used for folks who live out in the elements both as washcloths and dishcloths.  They are used by those in the shelters when they first get a night off the streets, can you imagine how good it feels to take a shower with a nice soft hand made (knitted or crocheted) cotton cloth...we all know they are much nicer than a regular washcloth.  AND they are used when families transition from shelters living to their permanent housing situation...they are included in the welcome home packs and again are used as either dishcloths or washcloths.

Many thanks Lisa.
