RAVELRY GROUP, Salvation Knitters (and Crocheters) accepts Blankets (ghans), hats, booties, socks, and bibs. Our friend and long time supporter of Bridge and Beyond, Sue Seger has organized this charity group on Ravelry to benefit two Charites in Lansing, Michigan. I wanted to post this information, for those that might like to join/support this charity when Bridge and Beyond ceases operations on Dec 31st of this year.
*Check the group, as sewers that make baby clothes can be accepted as well.
One Charity is Hannah's House and the other Shared Pregnancy Women's Center.
The focus for Hannah's House is getting expectant women off the streets and in a caring environment. The women can live at Hannah's House rent free up to 6 months after the birth of their babies. There's support, education, and preparation for the woman to follow their plan of adoption and or to keep the babies with new parenting skills afforded to them.
Donations can be mailed to:
