Crocheted Warmth for Homeless in Need



Thank you Emily K for this thoughtful and generous donation of crocheted goodies for Ohio's Homeless.  Emily has crocheted cotton washcloths, mittens (some fingerless, some with mitten cover), and a scarf and hat.  She also included always needed socks and personal care items.  Something here for everyone.

I love the nice dark colors so suitable for our folks living out in the elements and those without easy access to laundry facilities.  

Thank you Emily for your on going support of the cause here on Bridge and Beyond.  Please know how appreciated you are, and how much you truly help those that need it.

Keep up the good work.

**For anyone new to the blog, the counting below maybe confusing.  When 2016 began, we started with the number of items donated the previous year and are counting down in hopes of hitting and surpasses the number of items donated last year.**
