Merry Christmas Secret Santa!!
PLEASE keep checking in, as I will continue to show donations coming in, and provide listings of charities you might like to support after operations cease here on Bridge and Beyond come Dec .31. Please remember the last date to mail donations is the 24th of Dec.
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).
