Hats, HATS and Hats!!!

 Thank you Patty C for this very generous donation of crocheted hats.  Hats in lots of different colors, and sizes to warm many heads in need.  Thank you also for tagging them with size.  When I open a donation that's tagged it always makes me smile.

Patty also crocheted and donated scarves which makes matches sets!  Nice work Patty, thank you for your caring heart.  You are greatly appreciated.

Please keep up the good work!

*Folks please remember not to knot and cut with knitted or crocheted items.  Knots are always the weakest link in any garment or project.  Always leave tails when changing colors or adding yarn and work in your tails to avoid raveling.**

Warm Dry Feet Important for Homeless

Thank you Marjorie M for this thoughtful donation and your continued support of Bridge and Beyond.  Marjorie had donated personal care items which are needed both by the folks living in the elements and by the folks entering shelters, as often they have nothing when they get there.  And warm, dry, feet is HUGE!  Having warm dry feet is important all year long, in every season, and is often a key element in keeping someone healthy and more.......ALIVE in colder wetter months.

Thank you Marjorie for your generous and kind donation and your caring heart!

Everyone Loves Cotton Washcloths made by Hand

Look at this fun and cherry assortment of crocheted cotton washcloths from our good friend Annemarie!   I think she managed to hit every possible color combination with her cotton.  This are always a hit at all the shelters and are used both as washcloths and discloths.   In addition to donation of cotton washcloths Annemarie's sent personal care items.  Both those living in the elements on the street and those in the shelters are in need of personal care items and the cotton washcloths.

Many thanks Annemarie for your thoughtful donation, and your on going support of Homeless and those i need in Ohio.  We so appreciate  you.
