Make A Difference Day at the Day Center for the Homeless

This is a pictoral journal of our expedition to hand out hats, scarves, mittens and gloves at the Day Center For The Homeless in Tulsa. This is the end result of the culmination of yarn donations and work making the items by people from all over the United States. It was a very good day.

Thanks to all donors and volunteers and visitors.

My grandchildren like to come with me when I hand out the hats to the homeless people at the Day Center in Tulsa. It gives them a whole new perspective with which to view their own lives. I also believe it helps give them a base learning of how to help people.
