This past week, we were excited to be able to give away some
more of our finished projects.
A local group, Baby's Bounty, has contacts with about 100
local agencies which help mothers-in-need. They can easily find "homes"
for anything we make for babies from newborn to a year old.
We were happy to drop off to them:
Baby Hats - 56
Baby Blankets - 31
Baby Booties - 6 pr
Baby Jackets/Sweaters - 24
Bibs - 3
And then on Friday, we gave our one gal the following items
for our local homeless:
Hats - 94
Headbands/Earbands - 20
Scarves - 34
Gloves - 5
We will be giving more to the local homeless, off and on,
all winter long, at least for as long as our senior-fingers hold out.
Every area in the country has a different climate. Here in
our Nevada desert, it can get bone-chilling cold out on that cement at night.
We decided over these past few years to concentrate on hats first and foremost.
Scarves come next because they can double as a hat by pulling them up over the
heads of the homeless. Gloves (we make fingerless ones) are an added bonus when
we get the urge to make them. Basically, hands can usually be put into pockets
for warmth and we rarely go below freezing out here. But no matter what we
make, we are always happy to know that they will bring warmth and comfort to
someone in need.
And we do hope to make one more drop for the babies before
the year-end holidays.
