Warming the Heart!

This month we've been collecting winter clothing items for the needy. My office has felt like Santa's workshop! I've had piles and piles of coats, hats and gloves! While it was messy and crowded in here, it warmed my heart. The generosity of the good people of this neighborhood is truly inspiring!

Tonight was my deadline for donations so I can drop the items off tomorrow. With the help of Tanner and Russ, I sorted and counted everything. 

Here is what we collected:

36  pair of gloves/mittens

11 scarves

68 coats/jackets

120 hats

1 pair of boots

1 pair of ski pants

3 pair of socks

That makes a grand total of 236 items! Wow! In addition, 2 huge boxes of women's clothing was also donated! 

My heart is so full of gratitude and love. The spirit of giving, the spirit of Christmas is truly alive and well here in our little neighborhood! Thank you all so much! 

Merry Christmas!

Winter Clothes for Homeless

Winter Wear Drive for Homeless 

Now that the cold weather is upon us, it is a great time to think of our homeless brothers and sisters and reach out to them.  Let's try to make their burden a little lighter (& warmer). If you have any hats, gloves or even some old coats laying around that you or your kids have outgrown and are no longer using, PLEASE consider giving them away this month to the homeless. 

Whatever you can give will make a difference!

What We Need

Items can be new or gently used (still in good condition) and for all ages

~ Coats

~ Hats

~ Gloves or Mittens

~ Scarves

~ Ear Muffs

~ Socks

Also, mark your calendar for Friday, Nov. 18th at 11:00 am. We will be getting together at my home to make loom hats for the homeless.

If you've ever wanted to learn how to make these adorable hats, now is the perfect time! We will have all the needed supplies ~ just bring yourself. If you have your own project (hats, scarves, etc...) that you are working on, feel free to bring it, too. It will be a fun hour of service and friendship. Hope to see you there! 

To Donate

You can:

~ drop your donations off to my house  any day in November

~ bring your donations to the Service Day

Thank you for helping to warm those in need!
