Hotel Toiletries Help the Homeless

Thank you Darling Hubby!  Hubby was recently on a business trip and remembered to grab all the toiletries in the hotels.  When we travel together, I do that; but didn't think to remind him before he left or when I chatted with him on the phone.  So, I was pleasantly surprised when he arrived home and handed me a bag of goodies.  Personal care items are needed and used and appreciated by all the shelters, and the folks living out in the elements.

Suggest to your friends and neighbors to knab the hotel toiletries.  They add up and what a simple way to make a difference.  Also, it's a great way for someone who doesn't knit or crochet to lend a helping hand.

2016 DONATIONS:
Hats:     134
Scarves:  94
Mittens/Gloves/Wrist Warmers:  74
Slippers:   40
Rain Poncho's:   +106
Cotton Washcloths:  281
Afghans:  8
Socks:   124
Cowls/Hoody Combo's, headbands:   8
Shawls and shrugs, ponchos, sweaters & vests etc 0
Misc: items like personal care, headbands etc and things don't fit into above categories aren't counted.

Please note the category of shawl, shrugs, ponchos etc has reached our little goal, same as last year of 1.........but please please please.........don't let that stop you from making more of these items.  Likewise note we've definitely reached our goal for rain poncho's.  Rain ponchos's serve many purposes so we will probably still need some....down the line, but not for awhile.

All donations regardless of size and number are valued. All donations are appreciated. The Power of One is awesome, and when we work together The Power of One becomes The Power of Many.

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?
