If you're looking for Bridge and Beyond, a place to donate hand knit and crocheted items to....Bridge and Beyond has closed up shop after 13 years of operation supporting Central Ohio's Homeless. I have compiled a list of other charities you might like to consider donating to.

Additionally, you might look for a local shelter to save yourself postage fees.

Below is the listing with a very brief description, but PLEASE click on the links to see details about what they accept, what fiber to use, who benefits from the charity and where to mail items.

Afghans for Pine Ridge (Ravelry Group completed Afghans with options for 6-8- and 12 inch squares)

Red Scarf Project (benefits kids transitioning out of foster care

Warm Up American (Benefits homeless and others in need, rectangles, hats and scarves, or make your own full afghan).

StreetKnit (Benefits homeless in Oklahoma, accepts afghans, lapghans, hats, scarves, gloves, mittens, socks (not store bought); as well as yarn and knitting needles.

Homeless Families Foundation and Faith Mission (benefits homeless for those that are local and can deliver donations in Columbus, Ohio.

Salvation Knitters (Ravelry Group)(benefits two charities in Lansing Michigan, that focus on pregnant mothers and their babies, getting them off the streets.)

Welcome Blankets, Lapghans for Refugees (knitted, crocheted, sewn and or quilted)

And here are our final numbers for all 13 years of knitting and crocheting, looming and donating.

**The counts on our progress bars are current. All donations regardless of size and number are valued. All donations are appreciated. The Power of One is awesome, and when we work together The Power of One becomes The Power of Many.

Happy New Year

Happy New Year All!

5 more hats to add from our friend Karen S. Was just about to finalize our numbers for this, our last year when I got the last 2 donations in the mail. Karen looms nice large hats, and always attaches cute hand made size tags. Many thanks Karen for your support through the years.

AND

From our friend, Laura E, a donation with lots of variety! She's included lots of personal care items, toothpaste and brushes, and dental floss; soap, razors, wipes, bandaides and more. She's included socks and Grandma's favorite corner to corner cotton washcloths; as well as store bought cloths, and a knitted hat.

Many thanks Sue and Laura, your help through the years has been greatly appreciated. I hope you and all the members of Bridge and Beyond find a charity in your area, or perhaps one in the list below to give your kind support to.

Some of the charities aid the homeless, some pregnant women, some kids

transitioning out of foster care, and native Americans on Pine Ridge Reservation.

Locations vary, so you might find one of the charities listed is in your area, or close to you like a border state; making postage perhaps less costly.
