The Problem

I am trying to help the problem of homeless people and animals in shelters in my community. I am collecting handmade items and gently used clothes for shelters. My website as well as my facebook page offers details on my ongoing project http://fromewetoyou.webs.com/ http://www.facebook.com/#!/pages/From-Ewe-to-You/302156539805?ref=ts

Plan of Action

I have contacted local shelters to find out their needs and created a website and facebook page to educate people about what is needed and how to donate.I have also included ideas for ways in which everyone can contribute. I have enlisted the help of local businesses to help spread the word as well as serve as donation drop off sites My school will also serve as a donation site. I have created a crochet night in which I work on crocheted blankets, mittens, scarves and hats with members of my family. My goals include going to senior centers and schools to teach simple crochet patterns so they can help make items. I would also like to donate blankets, chemo caps and bandannas to local hospitals.I believe people have been impacted by this cause as I have already received donations, help from businesses and letters of appreciation from the organizations I will be donating to.

Project Updates

Today we made our second donation to the Wake SPCA. We were able to provide many bags of dog food, toys, beds, and supplies for the workers. We visited some of the dogs in the shelter in need of families. We are continuing to educate the public about the needs of our local animal shelters through our website http://www.fromewetoyou.webs.com
We are still collecting donations at our donation drop off sites. If you are interested in helping, visit our website for further information as to what the shelters are in need of. We hope to reach many more community members and hope to make another donation in June. Remember to get out there and do something!

We were able to purchase four bags of yarn using some of our grant money. We also purchased bags of dog food and fabric for dog beds for the local SPCA.
Tomorrow will be our third donation to Wake Med Hospital. We have also started making chemo caps and bandanas for Wake Med. Collection drive is ongoing and doing well. We are planning our third donation drop off to The Healing Place next week.

Today I went to pick up donations from The Raleigh Knitters. They had some beautiful blankets, hats and baby items. The best part of the day was going to The Raleigh Rescue Mission where I got to meet some of the clients including one little boy who was very happy to get a new backpack form us!! Doing Something feels great!!!

Our next shelter donation drop off is set for 3/26 at The Raleigh Rescue Mission.We are continuing to work with local hand crafting groups to increase our supply of items. We have also advertised our used clothing drive in our local classifieds and are very thankful for all donations received!

We had an article about us in our local paper.We've connected with three local handcrafting groups. They are making and donating scarves, hats, blankets, and baby items. On the third of March we made our first donation drop off to The Healing Place. We donated four bags worth of handcrafted items. On the sixth, our second donation was at the local SPCA. We donated ten handmade dog beds. They were very appreciative. We have a nice collection of baby items that will be donated to our local hospital within the next two weeks.

I'm planning on our first presentation of donated items 2/27 to The Healing Place. We have enlisted the help of local knitting and crocheting groups!!
