Donating Knitted Cotton Washcloths

Thank you Dee Ann H for this thoughtful donation of knitted cotton washcloths.  Look at the variety of styles and stitches she's used.  Please remember folks you can always click on pictures to make them larger to see details.  Camo, so perfect for our men folk.  Cotton cloths have a large variety of uses.  They're used by our folks living in the elements as both wash and dish clothes.  Likewise, our friends in shelters..  They're often used in welcome home packs for our homeless friends who transition from shelter living to their permanent housing situation.

Many thanks Dee Ann, happy to have you helping us here on Bridge and Beyond.  Please know you make a difference, an important one in the lives you touch.

Thank you Emily K for your Crocheted Donation to Help Homeless

Thank you Emily K for your on going support of Bridge and Beyond.  Emily has been busy, as you can see with this thoughtful donation of crocheted goodies.  She crocheted 2 hats, a pair of mittens and a pair of slippers.  In addition, she's crocheted 5 kitchen scrunchie.  I am not sure what type of yarn/fiber is used for those scrunchies and or what pattern Emily used, but would like to know.  Looks like a useable item for the welcome packs Homeless Families Foundation puts together when people transition from shelter to their permanent housing situation.  I will try to follow up on this item and let you all know.  I think I'd like some for my own kitchen, how bout. You all?

Please keep up the good work Emily, and know you are appreciated.

Crochet Donations Warm Homeless

Thank you Barbara F for this wonderful and thoughtful donation of crocheted goodies.  LOVE the stitches you used in these scarves and matching hats.  AND special thanks too for tagging the hats with size.  That is very helpful, and appreciated by me AND the volunteers at the various shelters.  Barbara has also included a nice stash of personal care items.  Looks like our long time supporter of Bridge and Beyond, Barbara F has been traveling and saving up her hotel samples.  Great way to donate.

AND look at this very nice afghan/lapghan.  Blue is a color that works for anyone, male or female.  Very nice detail with the stitch selection and the corner to corner design.  Many thanks Barbara for all you do.  Whomever receives this will be thrilled.

Please keep up the good work and know you make a difference in someone's life.

Thank you!
