Crocheting from the Heart Warms Homeless

Thank you Emily!  What a nice donation with crocheted mittens (see me clapping and dancing!), hats, and a scarf.  Emily's also included some hand sanitizer with her thoughtful donation.  Her hats are a variety of sizes to help warm different sized heads.  Really like the 2 tone brown one.

Thanks for being such a loyal supporter of Bridge and Beyond, Emily.  Please know how much we appreciate you and your efforts.

As always, keep up the good work.

Knitted Hats and Mittens for the Homeless

Thank you, thank you Sandra R for this fabulous donation of knitted goodies.  If you've been a frequent visitor here on Bridge and Beyond, you know Sandra is a long time supporter.  She knits in sunny Florida and sends her bounty here to cold Ohio...and she packs some sunshine in the box to put a smile on my face.

Sandra is very generous and we're always so appreciative of her donations.  Mittens in many different colors and sizes nicely labeled with size will truly thrill those who receive them.  Hats galore, also in many colors, sizes and styles to help warm someone in need.

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

Donations Help Ohio's Homeless

No....flowers aren't blooming here in Central Ohio.  This picture of daisies is one I took several years ago in my back yard.  It's so cold and gray here I thought we could use a lift by looking at flowers.  AND I'm sorry to say, I don't have a picture of the wonderful donation from our friend Dee Ann H.  I don't know what happened when I loaded the disc into the computer to do the edits, but the picture of her thoughtful donation was missing.

She donated 9 hats, 1 scarf plus a 1 gator (which I combined for 2 in the scarf category), and a pair of mittens.  AND you all know how excited I get when we get donations of mittens.

Many many thanks Dee Ann, and please keep up the good work and know how appreciated your items are.
