A call to knitters and crocheters who have some time

I was scrolling through the QK ring (at the very bottom of this blog) and found this post. Any knitters out there interested? Here is the post and the link to her blog.

Katrina relief goes on. . .

Someone asked, so here's SOME info:

As of December 17th, my good online friend Gina Renay, a Biloxi MS survivor,
posted the following on her blog:
Knitters, crocheters, stitchers....
Afghans, blankets, prayer shawls, etc
are still desperately needed in the Biloxi MS area.
Your much appreciated donations can be sent to:

The Fox Den
c/o Mr. Randy May
2nd Street @ Menge Av
Pass Christian, MS 39571

who will distribute your love gifts personally.

HTH,
Noreen

ADDENDUM!!!
(A few people have had trouble getting packages accepted by UPS for the Fox Den since the address is displayed as the corner of two streets rather than a street number on one street. The staff at the Fox Den deeply thanks you for your gifts and tell that they will be moving in 2 weeks to a new location. For those of you who will be shipping items in January, here is the address of a volunteer group that distributes needed supplies to 300-400 people a day who are still living in tents, trailers and cars:


Kay Ladner
North Hancock Recovery Center
298291 Hwy 603 North
Perkinston, MS 39573)

If you want to help and are not crafty but you belong to a church either pass this on to the womens group or ask them to donate some yarn. You can contact me if you would like. I will go through my patterns as well as free patterns available on line. I know it's a drop in the bucket but it's what I and others can do.
