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.

We have a few more donations to count in with our numbers for 2016, so please check back in.

Donating Helps the Homeless

Plastic wear.  My 90 year old hates to throw away things that have a purpose.  Whenever he eats out, like fast food or carryout, he ends up with these plastic knifes, spoons, and forks.  Some are packaged with napkins and salt and pepper, some are solo. He's been saving these for awhile.   He asked me if one of the shelters could use them.  Instead I suggested they'd be helpful for Rae, who prepares meals for folks living out in the elements.  And so I added these to last delivery to her.

Thanks Dad for participating with Bridge and Beyond and helping those in need.

Knitted Mittens and Hats for the Cold Homeless

  Thank you Sandra R for this awesome donation of lovely warm knitted hats.  Our good friend in Florida Sandra R always includes some sunshine in her boxes of donations too lol.  The day I opened this donation, we surely needed it.  Awesome hats, with great colors and size variety to fit many different heads.  Thank you Sandra for always tagging them with size.  That's so helpful and saves so much time both here at my house and when they get to the various shelters.

Our good friend and long time generous supporter Sandra had 2 boxes of donations.  Box one was the hats above and box 2...........yippee.  See me clapping and dancing in the street again!  27 fabulous pairs of mittens.  Please click to enlarge the picture so you can see all these wonderful mittens.  Again, she's taken the time to tag the all with size, and such a wonderful collection of sizes and colors.  These were delivered the very next day to our friend Rae who feeds those living out in the elements.  I didn't want to waste any time getting these out to those so desperately in need.  Though behind posting here, they was a rush delivery and Rae delivered them pronto, as the weather was frigid.

Many thanks Sandra, and as always please keep up the good work.
