How would
you like to be snuggling up inside this warm quilt during the cold,
winter months in Seattle? Thanks to one of our very dedicated volunteers,
Charolette Mace, many of the families that we serve will know exactly
how good snuggling up inside of a warm quilt feels. Ms. Mace has single-handedly
created and donated 21 quilts to Sharehouse client families, all of
which have been made with the sort of care that only a generous heart
could inspire! Ms. Mace was a joiner of our Annual Blanket Drive late
last year and has gone on to exceed any of our expectations by continuing
to donate 2 or 3 quilts each month. Ms. Mace continues to be the volunteer
that lifts the spirits of our staff and reminds us that small feats
of wonder can ripple to become large presences in the lives of others.
Thank you, Charolette!
This month’s
favorite donation gives us a chance to remind our donors that The Sharehouse
is happy to receive donations of new or used blankets, comforters, and
linens that are not ripped or stained! We would also like to take this
chance to remind you all that The Sharehouse will be running its annual
Winter Blanket Drive from November to January in order to collect enough
blankets for clients that need to warmly outfit their homes during the
cold weather. If you would be interested in running a drive through
your church, school, or community group, please call Laura Shearer,
Program Associate at (206) 767-5280 in order to sign up for a drive
date!
Many
thanks to the donor of the above donation, and thanks again to all of
you who loyally support us with your donations every year! Please call
(206) 767-5280 if you would like to schedule a pick up for your larger
furniture items.
Each month the Sharehouse will profile an unbelievably odd or wonderful
donation here on our website--keep checking back to catch the changes
and to see what's new!
