Polartec's HUGE Donation Has Holy Needles Expanding its Ministry!
We are now cutting fleece for chemo patients... to cover themselves while they are receiving chemo treatments. We are also cutting fleece to provide blankets for the homeless! Holy Needles is now helping Tucson region's newborns, homebound, cancer patients, and homeless, as well as Samaritan's Purse programs worldwide! We are so grateful to be able to give to so many in need!
Jaxie & Pat cut fleece off a roll, while Linda & Amy work on crocheting projects!
several scarves ready to ship to Samaritan's Purse Operation Christmas Child program
Joyce cuts poncho style shawls for homebound.
Kathy cuts yard pieces of fleece to create baby blankets and lap blankets (trimmed with a crocheted border).
