Hats and Scarves for Homeless

Thank you Phyllis G for this awesome donation of scarves and hats.  Your thoughtful crocheted donation for Bridge and Beyond has pulled us even with last years mark for hats!  Woot!! WOOT!!  We've warmed more cold homeless heads from this point forward.  That's pretty exciting.  AND the scarves are making our numbers climb even higher over last years numbers.  I can't tell you all how excited I am by the blue + numbers, as last year's totals were down considerably from the previous year.

LOVE your choice of colors Phyllis.  These colors will work for women or men.  Many thanks for your caring and generous donation to help Ohio's homeless.  Please keep up the good work.

The weather has definitely turned here in Central Ohio.  We've had a handful of days with temps below freezing this past week.  Trees are bare and the skies are gray.  Ohio's winter has settled in.  Please keep your yarn hooks, and knitting needles handy and busy folks.

Thank you for all you do to help others.
