High School Friends Donate

 Thank you Felicity S for saving your personal care items for Bridge and Beyond.  Felicity is a high school friend (from back in the dark ages, lol).  We get together for lunch periodically.  The other day she and I had lunch at a cute little tea shop with another high school friend, Susie J.  Besides having a great time laughing and catching up and having an amazing lunch.........both brought goods for Bridge and Beyond.  

That's what I call a win win win!  Fun-Lunch-Donations!

Many thanks ladies, always fun to get together, and thank you for thinking about Bridge and beyond and those left fortunate.  I appreciate you both, as do those that will receive these warm socks and personal care items.

Crocheting for Ohio's Homeless

Thank you Karen S for this awesome donation.  Folks please click to enlarge the photo so you can see the details.  I've placed the scarf so you can see both sides.  One side is lighter and one is darker.  I LOVE this look and have asked Karen how she accomplished it.  It looks knitted to me, but she explained it's crocheted with a hook on each end of the crochet hook.  It adds such nice texture, and also makes it a bit stretchy it seems to me.

Thank you Karen for this thoughtful donation and for including those super warm socks.  These were delivered last week so I know someone is warmer, as we speak.

Please keep up the good work.

Donating Bombas Socks Helps Homeless

Thank you Bruce B from Colorado.  Bruce has graciously donated these awesome Bambas Socks.  There 8 very nice pairs.  They are very warm and nice and soft, and the special part about this 8 pair of socks he's donated to Bridge and Beyond for the Homeless.  Bombas has also donated 8 pair of socks to a local shelter.  This buy one donate one program is part of the mission of the company.  So, he was able to double his donation and help homeless in need in two different areas at the same time.  How cool is that!

Bruce is a fellow Fitbit Friend from a group called 60 Plus Trackers and Chatters.  We spur each other on to get our daily steps and have through the beauty of Fitbit really gotten acquainted with a great bunch of folks.

Thank you Bruce for your thoughtful donation, it's greatly appreciated.  Socks seem so perfect for someone who's stepping out!

**Would the person who donated red and gray socks, knitted hat and scarf please make contact.  You can email me at sandycrochet@gmail.com, leave a comment here on the blog, and or leave a note using the contact form here on the blog.**

Donating Socks Warm Feet for the Homeless

Thank you Sarah S for this thoughtful donation of personal care items, crocheted cotton washcloths, and socks!  I rushed these socks over to Rae the very next day after opening the box because the temps have been bitter cold and wet and socks are sooooo appreciated by the folks that live out in the elements.  Rae was thrilled to get them and was putting together packs to take with her when she made her rounds with the meals.  Perfect timing.  Wet cold feet are miserable so having dry, clean socks to change into is HUGE!

The personal care items and cotton washcloths are always a hit as well.  Please keep up the good work, and many thanks for all you do.

Generous Donation From New York Help Ohio's Homeless

 LOVE LOVE this.  This is, I believe a traditional quilt style called pinwheel...if not someone please correct me.  Bright fun colors on a black background crocheted by a good friend and long tine supporter AnneMarie from New York.  What child wouldn't love this. Wonderful choice of cheery colors, ad perfectly sized for a child to snuggle up in.........AND frankly perfect for an adult as well for a lapghan.  Cause really what's not to love about this cute cute afghan!!
AnneMarie has been very busy crocheting slippers, and cotton cloths to go with her cute afghan above.....AND she's included socks.........clean dry socks which are always needed and appreciated--regardless of the time of year or the temperatures.

Many many thanks AnneMarie, you truly ROCK!

Donations for Homeless

Thank you Theresa A for this thoughtful donation of goodies to aid the homeless and others in need here in Central Ohio.  Quite a nice assortment of personal care items, cotton washcloths, socks, rain poncho's and hot pads.  Folks click to see the difference.  Notice the 5 pads on the left (blue-green, red-white and blue, mixed blue and brown, solid green and mixed red-white-brown), they are double thickness and will make a nice addition to the welcome packs Homeless Families puts together for families moving from shelter living into a permanent housing situation.

AND, also note in the lower right corner, the little blue and white packages.  Folks this is a really good idea....I never thought of it, but Theresa has included 2 emergency blankets!  I'm going to talk to Rae, our friend who feeds the homeless on Sat mornings to ask if this is something I should add to our list of things to collect.  I think it sounds like a real winner.  Good thinking on your part Theresa.  Stay tuned folks.

Many thanks Theresa, please keep up the good work.  Many people will benefit from your thoughtfulness!

Additionally, look at all the wonderful hats AnneMarie has crocheted and donated!  18 more warm heads...perfect.  She's crocheted a variety of sizes and colors to meet many needs.  Many thanks AnneMarie for your on going support.

Thank you Beth G for Helping The Homeless

Thank you Beth G for this wonderful donation for Ohio's Homeless.  Beth has crocheted scarves,and cotton washcloths and has included socks and personal care items as well.  Even though we have finally warmed up here in Ohio during the days,the nights are still cool, and we still have some of the wet dreary weather difficult for the homeless to contend with; soooooo please don't stop knitting and crocheting folks.  The need does indeed continue through out the year.  And, when we might reach a point where folks are currently in need, we then stock up all the various shelters and Rae, so they are always  prepared.

I want to thank all the new visitors supporting us through their visits and thoughtful comments from The A-Z challenge and am thrilled some of our new friends are busy and knitting and crocheting and or looking to see what they might do to help, either here or in their own areas.  We need to continue to spread the information about the severity of homelessness and spread the news about what can be done throughout our country.

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?
