Donating Crocheted Scarves

 Thank you Wendy H and sister Catherine for this thoughtful and very generous donation of crocheted love for Ohio's Homeless.  As I type this, my hands are cold and I'm indoors, not out in the elements, not living in a shelter where things can often be not all that comfortable.  Wendy has been a long time and active supporter of Bridge and Beyond.  As you look at the variety in colors and sizes of her scarves you know how many people she's keeping warm.

 Obviously, Wendy and her sister Catherine have been extremely busy with her crochet hook.  I do hope you got some sleep, during all this.  Holly cow....she's a regular crochet machine!

Please keep up the good work, Wendy and Catherine.  Stay tuned for additional donations from Wendy folks.  Remember, larger donations are divided to minimize the number of photo's per post so you're all able to better see the work of caring volunteers, and to help us with more regular blog posts.

As we're nearing the end of yet another year here on Bridge and Beyond, please stay tuned for totals.  All items received prior to the end of 2014 will be tallied in that year, even though the posts will appear in the year 2015.

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.

Joyful Donation from Joy aids the Homeless

 Awesome warm scarves crocheted and donated by my high school friend, Joy D.  Joy's crocheting is always so beautifully done.  Many thanks Joy for your on going support of our cause.  We appreciate your efforts and are thrilled to have you be a part of our group here on Bridge and Beyond.
