We need blankets of all sizes as well as hats for women, men and children. Remember with both types of hats we need colors appropriate for boys and men as well as for girls and women.
Leftovers are great for blankets! As always, you can make anything you want as we can find a home for it.
The need for blankets continues in several different sizes:
- Lap blankets 30" x 42"
- Large blankets 40" x 70"
- Blankets for babies
Get in touch with us at lois@ftheart.net or call 804-305-4971. We look forward to hearing from you!
As always anything you want to make we can really use to help fill the bins in the shop and warm the hearts and bodies of those in need.
