Update

Yesterday, I made a delivery to Linda. She passes along a big thank you for everything that has been donated and delivered. Kits are now being distributed to five local shelters, the new one being the Center for Women and Children in Crisis in the Provo/Orem area. Last week, they received a delivery making a total of 942 kits delivered so far this year. Also, Linda is currently working with the leadership of the Inner City Project to start delivering kits to the refugees from camps in Africa. More details to follow on that.

Right now, there is a huge need for colored pencils, school scissors, and rulers. Also, several Little Leaps games have been donated but there is no system to use it. If you have a Little Leaps system that your household is no longer using, Linda would love to place it in a kit. We are also on the look out for Peter Pan or Tinkerbell characters.

Just a reminder that there is a workshop at Heidi's house on Thursday the 25th at 1:30pm. Bring the project you're working on or come help with some available there.

Thanks for all you're doing to make the Heart to Heart Humanitarian Project a success. Keep your eye on the totals on the blog. They are always changing and are a great way to monitor our progress.

Needed Supplies

School supplies are still needed. These include: school scissors, pencil sharpeners, school glue, washable crayons, and markers.

Also needed are:

• Women's Towels in the following colors: cream, purple, pink, peach and tan
• Full-size Lotion
• Travel size toothpaste (if anyone knows a dentist)
• Women's combs in the following colors: peach, red, dark blue, yellow, white, cream, tan
• Thomas the Train items in good condition
• My Little Pony books or activity books

Thank you for all of your donations. You can drop things off anytime at Heidi's house, and they will be delivered to Linda.

August 25th Workshop

Please put August 25 at 1:30pm on your calendar for a workshop at Heidi's. You can bring the project you're working on, or supplies will be provided for you to use. Every one's help is wanted; it will be fun to spend time together. Hope to see you there!

Reminder & School Supply List

Just a reminder that we are meeting at Patti's house on Monday at 10am to tie five small quilts. We hope you can join us and help to complete this task.

I spoke to Linda and learned that levels are very low on the following school supplies:

School scissors
Sharpeners
School Glue
Washable crayons (only washable crayons are allowed at the YWCA)
Markers

Since there are a lot of deals on school supplies, this is a great time to get the most for your money on these items. You are welcome to deliver to Heidi's house anytime.

Come tie quilts!

Patti has graciously offered some space at her house to tie five quilts for the Heart to Heart project. We are meeting on Monday, August 1st at 10:00 am to tie quilts. Even if you have no experience (like me), you can easily learn and help. If you have a quilt frame you're willing to bring over and set up, please contact Heidi.

Please come and help us accomplish our goal and finish these quilts so they can be delivered to someone who needs them.

Delivery

I made a delivery today of fleece blankets. Thanks to all who contributed fabric and snipped the edges. I love it when we work together!

If you see any Disney princess fleece, Linda could really use some blankets made out of that fleece.

Happy July to everyone! Summer is in full swing now.

Workshops and a Purple Cat

There will be no workshops until August. It's time to enjoy the summer with our families.

Linda is in need of a purple cat to complete a welcome kit for a child. If you have a stuffed toy like this or see one at the store, it would be wonderful.

While there are no workshops going on, there are still welcome kits being made. Donations are still welcome and can be dropped off with Heidi anytime you like!
