Thank you Sarah S for this thoughtful donation of personal care items, crocheted cotton washcloths, and socks! I rushed these socks over to Rae the very next day after opening the box because the temps have been bitter cold and wet and socks are sooooo appreciated by the folks that live out in the elements. Rae was thrilled to get them and was putting together packs to take with her when she made her rounds with the meals. Perfect timing. Wet cold feet are miserable so having dry, clean socks to change into is HUGE!
The personal care items and cotton washcloths are always a hit as well. Please keep up the good work, and many thanks for all you do.
We have a few more donations to count in with our numbers for 2016, so please check back in.
**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.**

Hats: +38(Look we've past last years mark)

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.

Very nice donation Sarah S. The socks are so needed for the homeless. The washcloths and other personal care items will be wonderful to have also.
