Today Is Make a Difference Monday...
Today I'd like to introduce you to another great charity dedicated to helping the littlest victims of the tornadoes that ravaged parts of our nation this spring, especially Tuscaloosa, Alabama. We encourage you to read today's Featured Article for more information about this charity, called Anam Cara.
Anam Cara is collecting hats and booties to distribute to babies and children. In addition to distributing comforting and warming knitted and crocheted gifts, they also accept donations of yarn and pre-paid shipping boxes. Take a look at our Featured Article and consider how you might be able to help this great charity!
