Final Donations Made for 2021!

 We made our last donation for this year to the Krasman Centre in Richmond Hill. As always, they were very happy to receive 3 bags of items from us. Some will be going to their new shelter location on Georgina Island in Lake Simcoe to help out in that area.

We also delivered additional bags to Rose of Sharon, 360Kids and Yellow Brick House.

We'd like to take a moment to thank everyone who crafted for Casting Off the Cold through the lockdown and restrictions of the pandemic. All of the organizations we delivered to were thrilled to get our donations and were amazed at the number of items and that they were all handmade. Hopefully we can get back to meeting in person again next year!

Some last donations from the Amica group

We still had some donations come from the Amica group before we made our final drop-offs this year. We needed lots of scarves to go with many hats we had received, so Monica knit quite a few.

 

As well, we had our first scheduled meeting in almost 2 years at Amica in October. Friedl has been especially busy and donated all of these items:

She certainly is a 'knitting machine'! Thanks again to the Amica group for keeping up with their knitting even when they were in quarantine and unable to meet each other regularly.

MORE SCARVES

We have been working on scarves to match up lots of hats that were donated. So here are some from Sally, Norma, and Beth.

Thanks so much for helping out.
