Donations from Louisiana Warm Ohio's Homeless

Thank you Janis F from Louisana for this thoughtful donation.  Lots of different colors in the has and a nice variety in sizes as well.  Janis has also included a crocheted scarf which matches the blue hat for a nice set, as well as some footies.  These footies will be nice come summer for those living out in the elements to have a change of dry socks for their feet.

Thank you Janis for your support, we're thrilled to have you in the group.

**Folks stay tuned for an additional post showing Janis's granddaughter's contribution and the story behind it.**

Knitted Hats, Slippers and Scarves Help the Homeless

 Thank you Phyllis G for this fabulous knitted donation of warm hats and matching scarves, and slippers.  I love the colors you've chosen, as most will work for either men or women.  Everything is so nicely size also.  Each hat and pair of slippers nicely tagged with size as well, though I tucked the tugs under the items for the photo opt.

The style hat is nice and stretchy so will fit a good variety of head sizes.

Thank you Phyllis, please keep up the good work.

Crocheted Diagonal Afghan Donated to the Homeless

Thank you Nikki S for this colorful and cheery afghan.  It's size nice for a child or teen to wrap up and stay warm.  Folks this is crocheted and made on the diagonal with many many different colors.  This was Nikki's first afghan.  How sweet to give away the first item you made.

Please keep up the good work.

Folks this has already been delivered, as I write and schedule to posts, often a couple of weeks in advance so by the time you typically read the post the donated items are already in the hands of those in need.  I almost had to make two deliveries with the volume I had in hand this last time round.  I really had the car packed to the gills which is awesome.  I'm so pleased to see donations picking up again, as our numbers have been lower then other years.

Thank you all, and please keep up the good work.

Knitted Afghans Give Hope

Another knitted afghan from my long time friend (junior high and high school friend...practically back in the dark ages, lol), Marilyn M.   This nice thick warm afghan is made with double chunky yarn, I think and looks very southwest to me in it's design.  The family who receives this is going to be thrilled.  Sorry the picture is a bit dark folks, hard to get decent pictures sometimes when it's dark and gloomy outdoors.........even with all the inside lights on.

Many thanks for all your efforts Marilyn, please keep up the good work!

As you know our afghans provide physical warmth, but they also provide hope for a brighter future for the families we serve.
