I very happy to announce that with the help of the Yahoo Crochet List, I am running a baby items donation drive for Okeechobee County Family Health/Healthy Start Coalition. The Crochet List group runs a monthly donation drive, and this year I decided to apply (and was accepted) to run one of them since I donate on my own to Healthy Start any way. This way, hopefully I can bring in a lot more baby goodies.

If anyone is interested in participating, we are asking for new born size baby hats, booties, and small baby afghans (30-36 inches) using acrylic or any easy-care yarn. You can find out all of the details about my donation drive and others that the group will be participating in throughout the year at the the group’s database.

I believe you have to be a member of the group to access its site (membership is free though), but if anyone wants to donate and not join the group (though it is a great group to join, friendly and very helpful), email me (tammypowley @ yahoo.com) and I’ll give you the 411 on how to get the goods to me.
