Donated Crocheted Cotton Wash Cloths, Help Homeless

Thank you Sandie P from Louisiana for this nice donation of crocheted cotton wash cloths.  If you're new to this blog, you might wonder how or why cotton wash cloths.........knitted or crocheted make for a good donation for Ohio's Homeless.  If you're thinking well they don't keep anyone warm, you would be right.  They are though used in a variety of ways, by both women and men in need.

When you live out in the elements, and bathing is infrequent, taking care of your skin can be a very difficult thing to do.  Your skin gets chapped from the cold and the damp, and or from the sun, and wind.  Knitted or crocheted cotton wash cloths are far softer and nicer to the skin then store bought wash cloths.  Shelters use them when someone get's a night in the shelter and get's to take a shower, shelters use them in their welcome home packs where they can be used as wash cloths for showering or dish cloths.  Truly an appreciated item.

Many thanks Sandie, for your long time support of Bridge and Beyond and Ohio's Homeless.  You've made a huge difference in the lives of many throughout the years.  Please keep up the good work.

**The counts on our progress bars are current. All donations regardless of size and number are valued. All donations are appreciated. The Power of One is awesome, and when we work together The Power of One becomes The Power of Many.

  1. Always glad to help. These are easy to make. The Comfy Cotton Blend from Lion Brand is the yarn. It comes in several different colors.
