I'm sure you have heard of the devastating tornado in Joplin, Missouri. The Joplin YMCA is providing free child care to school age children. This is a vital service so the parents are able to recover from the devastation while knowing that their children are taken care of.</div><div><br /></div><div>Our local Y is a drop spot for donating arts and crafts supplies to the Joplin Y's child care program. <a href="http://www.joplinfamilyy.org/index.php/joplin-childcare-relief">You can go to their website to find more specific information on donating.</a> I was so happy to see the opportunity to donate arts and crafts supplies. We are on a tight budget, but we have brand new supplies that I was happy to donate. What a great way to cull the stash! I filled a garbage bag with kid-friendly yarn and my three year old son was happy to give a brand new box of crayons he hadn't opened yet. I always feel so helpless watching the devastation on tv and want to do something. It is a small gesture, but at least it is something.</div><div><br /></div><div>Please pass along the link to the Y through your blogs, facebook pages, etc. The more people that know, the more these children will benefit! Thank you!!! :)</div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/30567438-8538010247536870898?l=knittingknirvana.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>
