Crocheted Warmth for Homeless in Need

Thank you Emily K for this thoughtful and generous donation of crocheted goodies for Ohio's Homeless.  Emily has crocheted cotton washcloths, mittens (some fingerless, some with mitten cover), and a scarf and hat.  She also included always needed socks and personal care items.  Something here for everyone.

I love the nice dark colors so suitable for our folks living out in the elements and those without easy access to laundry facilities.  

Thank you Emily for your on going support of the cause here on Bridge and Beyond.  Please know how appreciated you are, and how much you truly help those that need it.

Keep up the good work.

Warm Scarves Help Ohio's Homeless Stay Warm

Thank you Sandie P for your ongoing and long time support of Bridge and Beyond and Ohio's Homeless.  As I type this post I can say, I'm wearing a wool sweater, the heats  on and we've had our first frost.  Sigh.........the weather has turned cold, and skies have become gray.

This soft and warm scarf will be a definitely plus in keeping someone in need warm.  The color was so close to my carpet color, I decided to toss it on a chair so you would actually be able to see it, lol.  Tan on tan didn't show up well in the first picture I took.  

Please keep up the good work Sandie.  You are very much appreciated.

Scarves Warm Homeless in Need

Thank you Mary H for this wonderful donation of knitted scarves!   A thoughtful and generous donation.  She's knitted a nice variety of sizes and colors to warm and please lots of folks.  Scarves are truly a wonderful way to help warm people up. I know how much more comfortable I am when I have a nice warm scarf around my neck...even while indoors.  Something here for everyone, male or female.

Many many thanks Mary, and please keep up the good work.  Know how appreciated you and your talents are.
