Donations Help Others

Oophs sorry folks had this ready to post, with the thought of coming back to actually write the post, and due to travel it got posted as scheduled, before I got back to it.

Thank you Ethan E for awesome donation of crocheted cotton washcloths, hats and scarves.  All are much appreciated.  And welcome to the group, we're thrilled you found us, and look forward t seeing you here often on Bridge and Beyond.  Please keep up the good work.

Folks, have you checked out the working calendar lately?  I've added about half the year in terms of our focus.  This year I thought we'd focus on groups in needs for a longer period of time, vs an item a month, as we've done in past.  For the duration of January and the month of February our focus will be kids.  By kids, I'm talking toddler to teens.  We've had requests from several schools in needy areas as well as shelters.  Apparently their supply of kids items has diminished.  We need hats, scarves, mitten and slipper suitable for kids.  Remember we do not donate baby items, but toddler through teens.  Colors should be dark and r bright, but not pastels due to the dirt factor.

Hats: 6
Scarves: 4

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.

Helping Hands Warm Ohio's Homeless

Thank you Ethan E, our newest pair of helping hands for this warm and thoughtful donation.  I love how nice and tight the stitches in your hats are.  No cold winds getting through those!  Nice choice of colors and hat sizes too.  Thrilled to have you join us here on Bridge and Beyond, look forward to seeing you here often.  I've neglected to note what state you're from.  Please leave word in the comments so I can probably note on the lists.

Please keep up the good work.

We'll be going a slightly different direction with our working calendar in the coming year, so please keep checking in.

Do you check the item specific tabs across the top of the blog before you make items?  If not, folks please do.  It's important we make was is needed.

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?
