The Shawl Ministry: "Shawls
... made for centuries universal and embracing, symbolic of an inclusive,
unconditionally loving, God. They wrap, enfold, comfort, cover, give solace,

Your local Childrens Hospital can always use small blankets, knitted/crocheted
huggable toys, and similar items -- contact the Volunteer Department at
your local hospital.
No-kill animal rescue agencies can also use blankets and cuddlies for
small animals. Contact your local animal rescue agency to see what they
need. (Also, animal shelters and veterinary offices can also use towels
and other things that you no longer need -- they are great for padding
nursery areas to comfort orphans; towels are also useful for clean-ups
around the animal hospitals.) |
