Warm Hearts~Warm Babies

I just read the January newsletter for Warm Hearts. The WHWB website is: http://www.warmheartswarmbabies.org/ . If one of your New Year's resolutions included community service or uncluttering, I recommend this charity, which helps those who can't possibly help themselves. If you are uncluttering - material and yarn donations are always welcome - as are donations of other items, as the spring garage sales are just around the corner. WHWB is a 501C charity - which means that you can get a tax receipt for any donations, material or monetary.

This is the current list of most needed items:

© Newborn Boy Burial Items
© Newborn sleepers and gowns
© Sweaters, jackets and buntings
© Preemie gowns, onesies, outfits, and t-shirts
© Receiving blankets
© Gently used boys 3T & 4T clothing and pajamas
© Baby toiletries
© Bottles
© Pacifiers
© Diapers
© Wipes
© Baby friendly yarn
© Baby friendly interlock knits and ribbing
© Postage stamps
© Batting
© Polyfil

I've noticed over the years, that the boys' clothing items are almost always on the list. It couldn't be because the boys who wear 3T-4T don't have gently used clothing. ;)

Crocheting for Charity

Warm Hearts~Warm Babies has been my ongoing project for many years. If anyone is interested in knowing more, their website is: http://www.warmheartswarmbabies.org/ . However, I was reading a magazine this morning, and found a request for help. A 12 year old from Virginia is asking for 3-inch or 6-inch squares, either knitted or crocheted. She will put the squares together to make afghans for local babies in need. Her website is: http://onesquareatatime.wetpaint.com/ . Every little bit makes a big difference.
