Happy New Year


Happy New Year All!

5 more hats to add from our friend Karen S.  Was just about to finalize our numbers for this, our last year when I got the last 2 donations in the mail.  Karen looms nice large hats, and always attaches cute hand made size tags.  Many thanks Karen for your support through the years.

AND

From our friend, Laura E, a donation with lots of variety!  She's included lots of personal care items, toothpaste and brushes, and dental floss; soap, razors, wipes, bandaides and more.  She's included socks and Grandma's favorite corner to corner cotton washcloths; as well as store bought cloths, and a knitted hat.

Many thanks Sue and Laura, your help through the years has been greatly appreciated.  I hope you and all the members of Bridge and Beyond find a charity in your area, or perhaps one in the list below to give your kind support to.

Some of the charities aid the homeless, some pregnant women, some kids

transitioning out of foster care, and native Americans on Pine Ridge Reservation.  

Locations vary, so you might find one of the charities listed is in your area, or close to you like a border state; making postage perhaps less costly.

Below is the listing with a very brief description, but PLEASE click on the links to see details about what they accept, what fiber to use, who benefits from the charity and where to mail items.

Afghans for Pine Ridge (Ravelry Group completed Afghans with options for 6-8- and 12 inch squares)

Red Scarf Project (benefits kids transitioning out of foster care

Warm Up American (Benefits homeless and others in need, rectangles, hats and scarves, or make your own full afghan).

StreetKnit (Benefits homeless in Oklahoma, accepts afghans, lapghans, hats, scarves, gloves, mittens, socks (not store bought); as well as yarn and knitting needles.

Homeless Families Foundation and Faith Mission (benefits homeless for those that are local and can deliver donations in Columbus, Ohio.

Salvation Knitters (Ravelry Group)(benefits two charities in Lansing Michigan, that focus on pregnant mothers and their babies, getting them off the streets.)

Welcome Blankets, Lapghans for Refugees (knitted, crocheted, sewn and or quilted)

And here are our final numbers for all 13 years of knitting and crocheting, looming and donating.


MANY THANKS TO ALL WHO PARTICIPATED



**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.

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?
