Knitting and Crocheting in Sunny Florida Helps Ohio's Homeless

 Look at this wonderful donation from our long time friend, Sandra R from the sunny state of Florida!!  She has been very busy knitting and crocheting.  She's knitted hats in different styles, colors and sizes.  She crocheted scarves, she's knitting the very popular corner to corner cotton washcloth, Grandma's favorite!!  WOW and WOW.  Lots of folks will be warm and know they are cared for with this donation.  Special thanks for always tagging your hats with sizes.  We strongly encourage everyone to do that.  AND.........look, she's also knitted mittens.  And yes we're finally warming up here in central Ohio, though the nights are still quite cool and we've not yet passed the danger of frost so donations are indeed still needed and still very much appreciated.

AND drum roll.  She also been busy crocheting an awesome corner to corner afghan.  I LOVE these colors, suitable for a man or a woman...So pretty.

Thanks for all your hard work Sandra, we really appreciate you.  Keep up the good work.

Personal Care and More Help Homeless

Thank you Nikki S for this thoughtful donation.  Nikki has included lots of variety in her latest donation, socks, personal care items, crocheted scarf, matching red scarf and gloves, and long johns.  Though the calendar says it's spring....it's still dark and gloomy, still damp, still cold here in Central Ohio............particularly in the evenings for those living in the elements, so this donation of goodies was very much appreciated.

Special thanks too Nikki for hand delivering to my door!  I got this donation delivered pronto to Rae, our friend who prepares hot meals on Sat mornings for those living out in the elements.  She was thrilled, as she knows the need of those folks.

Thank you Nikki, and please keep up the good work.

Donated Crocheted Cotton Wash Cloths, Help Homeless

Thank you Sandie P from Louisiana for this nice donation of crocheted cotton wash cloths.  If you're new to this blog, you might wonder how or why cotton wash cloths.........knitted or crocheted make for a good donation for Ohio's Homeless.  If you're thinking well they don't keep anyone warm, you would be right.  They are though used in a variety of ways, by both women and men in need.

When you live out in the elements, and bathing is infrequent, taking care of your skin can be a very difficult thing to do.  Your skin gets chapped from the cold and the damp, and or from the sun, and wind.  Knitted or crocheted cotton wash cloths are far softer and nicer to the skin then store bought wash cloths.  Shelters use them when someone get's a night in the shelter and get's to take a shower, shelters use them in their welcome home packs where they can be used as wash cloths for showering or dish cloths.  Truly an appreciated item.

Many thanks Sandie, for your long time support of Bridge and Beyond and Ohio's Homeless.  You've made a huge difference in the lives of many throughout the years.  Please keep up the good work.
