The End, Bridge and Beyond

If you're looking Bridge and Beyond, a place to donate hand knit and crocheted items to....Bridge and Beyond has closed up shop after 13 years of operation supporting Central Ohio's Homeless.  I have compiled a list of other charities you might like to consider donating to.  

Additionally, you might look for a local shelter to save yourself postage fees.


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.




**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.

    People can check with local shelters, food banks, rescue missions and sometimes their town might put up a giving tree at the holidays. My town has a couple of business that puts up a tree (outside of one of the banks) and the other is an insurance company that puts up a coat rack outside that has coats, hats and scarves that people donate too.

      Right you are, there are many ways to donate. Problem with the businesses doing that is it's a once a year thing typically. However, those agency's might then become known to folks to make connections on their own.

    You've done a lot of good through the years. Well done! The Bridge will be missed. Nursing homes are good local places folks might consider donating to.
