Fall is Here, Homeless Need YOUR Help.

Thank you Mary C for this thoughtful donation.  LOVE the variety of sizes, colors and styles of crocheted cotton washcloths!  Rounds, square...big and small.  You really covered it all.  Mary's also included 2 nice warm hats in great dark colors.

As we gear up for Fall, now that summer's past we're reminded that homeless people do best in darker colors.  They don't have means to do laundry so darker colors work well to not show the dirt...AND darker colors help them not call attention to themselves.  Bright, bold, and pastels aren't as suitable for our friends living in the elements.

Many thanks Mary for your support, hope to see you here often on Bridge and Beyond, as we work to warm Ohio's Homeless.

Please keep up the good work!
