Knitted Hats and Mittens for the Homeless

Thank you Sandra R for this thoughtful and generous donation.  You know how excited I get when we get a donation of mittens.  Sandra's knitting is always fabulous and she's made hat and mitten set here in a variety of colors and styles to warm many heads and hands!  Special thanks also Sandra for labeling items with the size.  It saves me time and more importantly, helps those volunteers at the various shelters.

Many thanks for your on going and long term support of Bridge and Beyond, and Ohio's Homeless.  YOU ROCK!

As always, please keep up the good work.

Hats:     134 -11 =123

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.
