These items provide warmth and comfort to people in Nursing Homes, Veterans Homes, Hospitals and Hospices. Churches, Aids Facilities. Homeless Shelters, The American Red Cross, Day Care Centers and Children’s Hospitals. The simple concept (directions to follow) is to crochet or knit 7” by 9” rectangles in the comfort of ones home or as groups in a community.
