Donating Sunshine and Warm Knitted Items Helps Cold Homeless

YIPPEE!!  Look at this awesome and very generous donation from our good friend and long time supporter, Sandra R from Sunny Florida.  I've often teased and said she should package up some sunshine when she sends her donation.  Click to enlarge if you're not seeing it.  She did!  Seriously...we rarely get sunshine coming through the windows here in central Ohio in the winter; but this day...the day I took the photo..........we did.  Special thanks Sandra!

Kidding aside though folks, look at this wonderful donation of hats, scarves, mittens, and fingerless gloves.  There are some matching sets also.  Lots of colors, lots of styles, and lots of sizes.  Something for everyone.  Great solids that will blend in.  She always takes the time to tag her hats, and mittens with size.  Thank you, Thank you Sandra.  You've warmed up so many with your big heart and talented hands through the years.

Please keep up the good work and know how much it matters in the lives of others.

New Helping Hands Help Ohio's Homeless

Thank you Sharon M for this thoughtful donation of crocheted goodies to warm Ohio's Homeless.  Sharon has donated scarves and personal care items.  LOVE the colors of the scarf in the lower right of the picture.  The brown and green are such a nice combination.  Both colors are good for men or women, which is another plus.  Please click to enlarge the picture folks, I want you to see the texture in this scarf.  Very nice.  Sorta waffle like, which makes the scarf feel spongy and thick.

The gray/salmon color scarf could be used as a shawl because of it's size.  Either way it will be nice for someone to wrap up and get warmer.

Sharon M is our newest pair of helping hands.  YIPPEE!!  We're always happy to have more helping hands here on Bridge and Beyond.  The more pairs of hands, the more donations, the more donations, the more people we can warm.

I hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving with friends and family, and that you stayed warm and safe with all the nasty weather that's about our country.

Crocheted Scarves Donated to Bridge and Beyond

Scarves!  LOTS of different colors.  Thank you Cynthia B for this generous donation of crocheted scarves to help Bridge and Beyond warm the homeless in need.  Click folks to see the variety in her stripes and colors.  I particularly like the one in the front on the left...the black-red-gray........looks very Buckeye-ish.  So does the the red 2 up from that with black and gray.  

Cynthia has been very busy, there are 20 scarves!  Well actually, 19 in the picture.  After I picked them up to bag them for delivery, realized I missed one that was sitting on the chair beside this area, so her donation is 20 scarves!!  Woot woot, 20 additional warmer people.

Folks, please check out our goals in the right side bar.  All the numbers are growing which is exciting as we're definitely into the cold weather now here in central Ohio.  With this donation, we're almost at the 50% mark for scarves.  Getting real close.

Many thanks Cynthia and please keep up the good work.  You've made an important difference in the lives of 20 people in need.

Helping Cold Homeless With Donations

Thank you Stephanie S for this thoughtful donation.  Stephanie has crocheted a couple of cowls/mobious/neck gators....lol, so many names, I'm sure there are more.  She also included a cotton washcloth in her donation to help Ohio's Homeless in need.

Stephanie is our newest pair of helping hands and we're so happy to have you join us.  Keeping people warm is no small task.  There are many who need help, so the more pairs of helping hands we have the more people we can keep warm.  

It's hard for me to believe how quickly this year has past.  As I typed this post, it's almost Thanksgiving.  Where has the time gone?  Our weather here in Central Ohio got cold earlier than normal, seems to be wetter than normal as well.  Please do what you can with your crochet hooks, yarn, knitting needles, and looms.  Also, please help spread the word as you talk to other crafters.

Many thanks to all who help, it is really appreciated by those in need.
