Gifts Packs Make Wonderful Donations for Ohio's Homeless

Thank you Tara B for this thoughtful donation.  Wow......what a nice pile of personal care items.  Soap, lotion, shampoo, toothbrushes and more.  These are needed all year long.  AND LOVE this nice think warm scarf.  It's such a nice size and can be really wrapped around someone to keep them warm.  While today, as I write this post, the weather is nice here in Central Ohio...hubby and I closed up all the windows in the house yesterday and the day before and turned on the heat again!  Seriously, yesterday morning it was only 42 out.  That's not comfortable weather if you're living in the elements, so this nice warm scarf is indeed still needed.

Also......please click the picture to enlarge it.  I want to point out the gift packages Tara made.  There are nicely crocheted cotton wash cloths that she's folded and paired with a large cake of soap, then tied with nice twine and placed in a zip lock bag.  It's such a simple touch, but really looks so nice.  So much like we're presenting them with a gift.  I really love this idea.  Well done Tara!  Glad you thought of that.

Please keep up the good work and stay well, during these Covid times.

**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.

    I can't get the photo to enlarge, but I can figure out the contents so its ok. We call them "blessing bags", and when we lived in Portland people in the church passed them out to the homeless they came across at stoplights and intersections. We usually included some shelf-stable snack food as well.
    Nice job Tara!

    Very nice donation Tara B! Putting the washcloth and soap together in a bag is a good idea.
    Karla, I love the term Blessing Bags.

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.

Where The People Who Donate Come From, is your state represented?
