... even a 6 year old ... :)

Thank you for the beautiful donations made for TLC this week:

And just a reminder if you haven't learned to make the loom knitted hats yet...

IT IS SOO EASY!!

I taught my 6 year old granddaughter this weekend and she loved it:

 I told her they were for children that don't have enough warm clothes and she was so happy to make this one:

before starting to improve the world."  - Anne Frank

8 hats. 2 blankets. tons of fun! :)

4 ladies. 8 hats. 2 blankets. tons of fun!  :)

Thank you!

Thanks to all who came Wednesday and brought donations of fleece and yarn. We enjoyed talking and having Pat teach (and remind) us how to knit the loom hats and scarves.
We still have a need for donations of fleece for blankets and yarn for hats and scarves. Bring it on Wednesdays or Sundays, or call me and I will come pick it up.  If you have looms you aren't using right now also let me know and maybe someone else could borrow them.

These hats, scarves and fleece blankets we are working on now are going The Learning Center. They serve 300 little children 0-5 years old and most don't have warm clothes. We delivered about 10 blankets and 25 hats this week.  Their coordinator, Stacey, really appreciates our donations and said they can use all we can make! As it gets warmer we will also start on some hygiene kits for the homeless.

Welcome to our humanitarian blog! I'm so grateful for all of your examples of loving kindness in the Branch. I am just playing 'catch-up' in trying to serve in this calling the way all of you have been doing your whole lives. <3  I will keep contact with dedicated community organizations that are working to fill huge needs in our area.  This blog is to help us all find where we can best serve.  Kathryn
Below are 5 possible ways YOU can serve:   (see what works best for you)

1. If you are already working on projects at home, CARRY ON!

2. Come to my home any Wednesday 1-3pm and chat as we work on various HUMANITARIAN PROJECTS.  Just bring what you are already working on and visit (Crystal Springs #108)

3. Sign up to volunteer with RSVP (Retired and Senior Volunteer Program) in any areas of your interest. You decide where, when and how you serve. There are SO many needs and opportunities (anything from Arts to Tutoring). Their office is part of one of our best resources, Volunteer Center of Washington County. The office is at 1070 W. 1600 S. Bldg B (behind All Connect on Dixie Drive). I believe the sign outside the office says '5 County Association of Governments'.   We will keep in very close touch with them for needs we can fill as a group. (435-674-5757) [The Community Resource Center & Pantry 198 N 100 E]

4. Fill something on a wish list of a COMMUNITY SERVICE ORGANIZATION linked on the left of this page.  If you want to help but can't deliver items, tell me and I will pick them up. Just label which organization your items go to, please. Every Wednesday afternoon at 3pm we will make a run to the places we have items to give, so they can immediately be put to use.

5. Keep watching the blog. I will update anytime I hear of needs we can help fill.
