Thank you Sue S for this thoughtful donation of beautiful knitted cotton washcloths. LOVE the variety of colors. Cotton Washcloths have several purposes. They are used both as dishcloths and as washcloths for bathing. People love them. Men and Women both use them. They are given to our friend Rae for the folks living out in the elements, and they are donated to various shelters. The shelters use them both when folks spend the night in a shelter, as well as when families transition from shelter living to permanent housing in their welcome home packs.
Many thanks Sue, and please keep up the good work.
If you're a person who would like to help those in need, but don't knit or crochet, please scroll back one post and consider donating meals to feed those who are hungry through a Go Fund Me Account. Please think about donating even $5.00 instead of buying yourself a cup of coffee at Starbucks or some other shop while out and about.
