Outreach Centers receive winter wear from Love’s!

Many homeless teens and young adults live on the streets of Nashville, TN. The Oasis Center is an outreach center that helps those that come in and those that remain on the cold city streets. Love’s Many Cloths gals make winter wear that is sent to the center to be distributed to the many that need the warmth.

This outreach center, the Solomon’s Porch, is in Wenatchee, Washington. Love’s also sends winter wear to the many homeless teens and young adults in this community.

If you would like to help these homeless young teens and adults go to this website for shipping information.

Elders are trapped and snowbound due to massive snowfall amounts and the power is out for 800+ residents. Food supply and propane amounts have been diminished.

I am calling all crafters to please make a hat, mittens, or scarf for either an adult or child. Many grandchildren are affected!

I will be sending out Flat Rate boxes to the contacts at the reservation. The winter wear will be distributed through the very hard to reach communities. A Senior Center may also be of help for giving to many families in need!

Giving to Others

I send most of my handmade items to the Pine Ridge Reservation to the elder grandparents that are raising many young grandchildren. These families are living in very poor conditions in South Dakota. Winters are harsh due to very cold temperatures and lots of snow. The need for warm winter garments is tremendous!

Winter wear for the needy: The Lakota families of South Dakota

We at Love’s Many Cloths make lots and lots of hats, scarves, mittens, and blankets to help keep many people warm during the winter time. Many of us live in very cold parts of the country and the other gals that live in the much warmer climated areas are so loving and caring to give to the rest of us and our needs to keep us all warm too. One area in particular that I stress to send to is the Pine Ridge Reservation of South Dakota. They are a very large area of poor conditions and the winters are very harsh for the elderly and the children.

The Love’s Many Cloths group is helping keep our youth warm on the city streets of Nashville by sending hand made winter wear to our contact at the Oasis Center. The center reaches out to the homeless teens and young adults that are finding it hard to find indoor places to sleep or call home. See this website for more information of where to send winter wear.
