New Helping Hands and Thoughtful Donations

Crocheting and Donating

Thank you Blanca T for this thoughtful donation of crocheted goodies.  You've been busy!  Colorful crocheted cotton cloths/towels are always well received by all the shelters we donate to.  She's also donated hats and scarves.  Click to enlarge folks so you can see the details in the scarves.  I believe this style is called a keyhole scarf?

Thank you and please keep up the good work of warming Ohio's Homeless.

Folks we're still highlighting the needs of kids until the end of this month, February; but remember that doesn't mean you can't send items for kids other times of the year.  Please check the working calendar tab anytime you need an idea of what to make, or wonder what our highlighted items or groups will be.  The current highlight, always appear in the moving marque across the top of the blog.

Donations from Florida Warm Ohio's Homeless

Thank you Sandra R from Florida.  Sandra has been a long time wonderful supporter of our homeless here in Ohio.  She does beautiful work.  Special thank you Sandra for tagging everything with size...that's always appreciated.  Love the variety of sizes, and colors in your hats.  Look how many heads will now be warm because of you.

Please keep up the good work!

As I typed this scheduled post, I'm happy to say it's finally warmed up to 23!  Feels like 12, but it was only 12 and felt like 2 when I got out of bed this morning; soooooooooo I guess that's better.  lol  Marginally.  I can't keep my hands and fingers from cracking from the cold, can't imagine how much worse it is for those without a nice warm roof over their heads.
