Knitting Aids the Homeless

 Thank you thank you Joyce B.  This post concludes the very generous donation Joyce delivered to when she was here in town to support her family's participation in the Marathon.  If you're reading this blog for the first time, you may not be aware I've recently decided to break up large donations to have fewer items in each picture, fewer pictures per post so you all can better see the wonderful donations, AND in order to aid having a post more regularly (daily being the goal).  Many thanks Joyce.

Wonderful hats, scarves, and a cowl in the upper left of this picture.  Hats of many sizes and colors.  AND what a wonderful plus that you tagged all your hats with size!  Doing so speeds up the process for me in separating donations into the right bag for kids or adults, men or women etc.  Additionally, it speeds up time for the many big hearted volunteers to who help staff the various shelters.  The quicker items leave my house and get to the volunteers, the quicker they're in the hands of the homeless and others in need.  

Thank you Joyce, look forward to seeing you here often on Bridge and Beyond.  Please keep up the good work.

Where Will the Homeless Go?

It becomes harder and harder on homeless as they get booted out of locations.

Please take time, watch the video and or read the article.  But for the grace of God go I.

Donating Yarn and More

 Thank you Gail B for this thoughtful donation and your on going and long time support of Bridge and Beyond.  We certainly value all you do.  Gail has donated some yarn that will get put to good use and scarves she's crocheted.  Gail's work is always wonderful, and I love how she uses nice dark colors suitable for men or women.

I love the rust and blues together here, they might just stay paired like that to make a ghan?  They might be needed elsewhere, time will tell, but solid rust and variegated rust with the two shades of blue make me see stripes or ripples or...........um.  We shall see what they choose to become.  We all know sometimes the yarn speaks to us, lol.

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