Helping Ohio's Homeless from Virginia

 Thank you Gail B from Virginia for this awesome donation of crocheted kindness to help Ohio's Homeless.  Gail has been a long time supporter.  Gail crochets beautifully.  Look at the nice variety of hat colors and sizes and scarves she crafted with her skilled hands.

 I love how nice and big your scarves are.  People can truly wrap the scarf around more then once which so adds to the warmth.  And, who doesn't love the Buckeye Scarf!  After all, we here in Ohio bleed scarlet and gray.

Gail thank you for taking the time to add sizes to your hats.  I very much appreciate it and know the folks at the shelters do too. She's also included some personal care items. 

 Please keep up the good work.

The Huge Need for Shelters, Growing in Central Ohio

 Men, Women, and Children Homeless for a variety of reasons.  Men, Women and Children cold, hungry and homeless often don't know where they will sleep, if they will be protected, where their next meal will come from.

This is a story and video that appeared recently in local news.

Can you help?  If you don't crochet or knit, can you help?  Can you donate funds?  If you're not able to donate funds you can still help.  Tell your friends, your neighbors, your co-workers, your family members.  Talk about the problem, blog about the problem, Facebook about the problem...
