If we have the cash we purchase discount yarn toiletry items fabric holiday preschool items. Seniors meet and crochet warm winter hats scarfs and gloves for preschools; warm blankets for naptime for preschoolers; warm infant hats for newborns in hospitals and we make necessity bags with personal items for homeless shelters. We delivery all items to our partners throughout the year. Starting in the fall we deliver the blankets and warm winter wear that we created during the summer months. We bag the toiletry items all year long when shelters request more than what we delivered for the year.
