Crocheted Donation from Upstate New York

Look at this wonderful donation from our good friend from upstate New York, Annemarie D.  Annemarie's been a long time and generous supporter of Bridge and Beyond and Ohio's Homeless.    She's included something for everyone here with her crocheted donation.  A couple of sets of matching hats and scarves...one set even has a pair of fingerless mitts.  Cotton socks which are always in need and appreciated, as well as cotton washcloths in her donation.  She's been very busy with her crochet hook.

Many thanks Annemarie for your generosity and your on going support.  Special thanks too for tagging your hats with size, as well as her mitts.  I nudge everyone to do that, pair your mittens and slippers and always tag those and your hats.  It's a huge time saver in getting donated items to the right people.

Many thanks Annemarie, please keep up the good and know YOU make an important difference in the lives of others.

Thank you Terri L, for this thoughtful donation of crocheted cotton washcloths.  Such nice texture, and the color works well for men or women.  Terri is our newest pair of helping hands and she hails from the state of Massachusetts, knows as The Bay State.

We're happy to have you join us here on Bridge and Beyond Terri.  So many wonderful people from around the country, it's heartwarming.

Knitted Hats Made With LOVE

Look at these cute hats!  Many thanks Karla T for this thoughtful donation of loomed knitted hats.  She has a nice variety of size and color.....and what a special touch, please click to enlarge so you can see the cute cute size tags she used!  These are adorable.  She's added the size to the back.

Made with Love!  How sweet and appropriate is that!  Looks like she's printed them on her computer, punched a hole and tied on with yarn.  And as I said above she's written the size on the back.  This makes the whole thing seem so much like a gift........which it is; but we might forget that from time to time.  When we think of donations, we may not equate that term with giving a gift.  We're giving a gift to say we care, we love you, we wish the best for you.

Karla, gotta say.......you win the day with these.  They really made me smile and brought back a memory.  When I first started knitting and crocheting for charity.........YEARS ago, someone on line found silver and gold charms that were shaped like a heart that said made with love.  I used to tie the charm onto afghans I made for Squares for Survivors.  A charity to benefit those in Louisiana from hurricane Sandy.  At least from memory I think it was Sandy.  Haven't used or seen or thought of those little charms in a long while; but....they didn't have the ability to add size which your cute size tags do!

Keep up the good work and know your hats have made 5 more people warmer, and they know someone cares for them.

Donation for the Homeless from Sunny Florida, Take 3

Thank you Laura E from sunny Florida for this awesome donation.  I'm on a roll posting wonderful donations from our friends in the sunny state of Florida, lol.  Seriously scroll back to the previous 2 posts.  What's the mathematical likelihood of that happening?  Donations are posted in order of receipt so I got a kick out of this.

As you can see, our friend Laura has been very busy indeed.  She knitted up a storm.....look at the hats for example.  So many colors and sizes and all nicely tagged with size!  Something to warm lots of different heads.  She's also included personal care items, scarves, socks, and cotton washcloths. 

In addition to the knitted cotton washcloths, she's included store bought.

If you click to enlarge the picture, so you can see the details, you'll notice bundles...she's packaged matching scarves and hats by tying them together.  That's a lovely idea, thank you!

Please keep up the good work Laura and know how much of difference you've made for Ohio's homeless and others in need with your thoughtful and generous donation.
