Keep up the awesome work Gail!

Folks if you didn't get a chance to see it, please scroll back 3 post and read about the happiness challenge for August in addition to our need of mittens and hats....the really tie in together.  AND scroll back 4 posts if you missed it, I posted some numbers about where we were with donations at this time last year compared to where we currently are.  I think it will help you see where the need lies, as well as see how well we've done in some areas.


Thank you all.

Donating Personal Care Items and Crochet Cotton Washcloths

 Box 1 from our good friend Marjorie M, lots of wonderful personal care items being donated.  The nice little first aid kits...great idea.

 50 crocheted cotton washcloths of every imaginable color filled Marjorie's 2nd box of donations.  Wonderful mix of both male and female colors Marjorie.  These are a HUGE hit at the shelters.  These cotton washcloths get used when folks first come into the shelters with little more then what's on their backs for showers, they get used again as families move into temporary housing in the shelters for both showers and dishcloths, and they get used again when moving out packs are compiled when folks transition from shelter living to their permanent housing situation...again for showers and for dishes. 

Keep up the good work Marjorie!
