Donating Personal Care Items Helps the Homeless.

Personal Care Items and coffee packs I collected from a recent trip.  The personal care items are always needed by all the shelters, as well as those under the bridges living in the elements.  The coffee packs will go to our friend Rae who prepares hot meals for those on the streets on Saturday mornings.

Folks this is a good way to help, when time is tight and you're not crocheting or knitting, or perhaps you don't knit or crochet at all.  Everyone can donate personal care items.

Crochet Afghan Donated to Homeless Families Foundation

 Thank you Barbara F for this lovely corner to corner crocheted afghan.  What great colors, suitable for male or female, adult or teen.  Wanted to show you two views so you could get a good look at it folks.

And don't be mislead by that bit of sunshine coming in the window.  It's been in very short supply here in Central Ohio.  We've had two mornings in the last week that were 24 and 26 degrees when I got up in the morning.......so the sunshine is truly misleading on the weather.

Thank you Barbara for this thoughtful donation.  Whatever families receives this beautiful afghan at Homeless Families Foundation will be thrilled.

Please keep up the good work.

High School Friends Crochets and Donates

Thank you Joy D from Delaware for this awesome donation.  Joy is a long time friend of mine.  We went to high school together.......so you know....way way back in time, lol.  Joy's crocheted hats, scarves, and cotton washcloths.

What a nice assortment of hat sizes and colors to fit a variety of head sizes.  Likewise her cotton washcloths are different sizes...some might be used as dish cloths, others for bathing.  And look at the pretty blue green scarves.......I've  always loved blue and green together.

Many thanks Joy, and please keep up the good work.
