I learned that we have 500 homeless or "in need" students living in poverty in our area...

Finding simple knitting a relaxing time, I've started simple caps for these students.   The message is getting out about our need and we have many "seniors" with time to knit, crochet, and loom the caps, but we need yarn to keep all the fingers working.

We need washable yarn, any color, and small new yarn is A OK.   We make up many striped hats for the students.   If you wish, you can send a tax dedutible donation and/or yarn to use or for our Bulk Shopping.(We save small donations to make a bulk purchase of yarn for the best buying power.)

Our young man in the photo was having a ball with his new cap, a gift for the Holidays.   Due to privacy we will not use the photos of the real homeless.   The young man in the photo is not homeless. Yet, see his smile.... think of that smile that you can help bring to someone in need.

Caps are delivered to the School's Homeless Liaison for distribution to the students.

 
GOAL 500 made to deliver for "Christmas in July".

SOCKS  

We have learned that many, many of our homeless students did not have socks. No Socks!   Something so simple and so inexpensive.

We're hosting a sock drive for our homeless and in need students living in poverty.
We need any color and type of sock for students in grade K - 12.      

Think of cold mornings going to school or the school bus without socks. Yes, we live in the high desert yet many mornings are freezing (below 32),  when students head out to school.

I'll admit I never knew of the "miss match" trend in young girls and how thrilled the students are with new socks. 

(I heard back from the school the students were just over the moon with their new socks.)

Goal: 1500 pair of Socks by Nov 1, for delivery to our schools.

If you can send or drop off socks to

U.S. Troops Drawstring Bag

Join in making Troop Bags. This is a national 501C3 non-profit charity that fills and sends the filled bags monthly to our troops. 

The request is for a 14" drawstring bag, it holds a filled gallon baggie. The troops can use the bags for personal use, and some pass them on to the children in Iraq.
