We hope that 2020 is off to a great start for everyone. Our group was very busy last year creating an abundance of beautiful blankets and shawls to help with keeping others warm and cozy. We had a large inventory of items at the end of 2019 and we are still distributing some of our inventory. We were able to provide donations to two local long term care homes in December 2019: Bruce Villa and Regency Park Long Term Care Home.
One of the philosophies of our project is to set up our donations in a public space within the home, similar to a craft fair. This way the individual can chose an item according to their personal preferences and this creates a social event for the people living within the home. Each year, our volunteers strive to create unique items in a variety of colours, sizes and patterns for people to choose from. All items are provided at no cost to the person. We often hear wonderful stories from people living within long term care about their past or present hobby of knitting and/or crocheting. Many people will join us for the entire event socializing.
We would like to thank our dedicated volunteers who work tirelessly throughout the year and to Bruce Villa and Regency Park for inviting us into their homes.
