I connected with Charlene Briscoe. She was in charge of the food pantry Brumby Elementary started to help families with students at the school. LCR’s support came in the form of monetary donations that would help offset some of the items they had to purchase.
On November 19 we blessed over 200 hand made blankets and knitted items from two amazing ministries at LCR: the LCR Blanketeers and the Knitters for Peace.
The Knitters for Peace have also been busy since 2000, meeting twice a month to knit together and also working on their own. They make baby hats and blankets for Northside Hospital’s NICU, as well as hats and scarves for MUST Ministries to distribute to clients in colder weather, and crocheted octopi to occupy premature babies and keep them from pulling cords and tubes while they are in the NICU at Kennestone Hospital. Just since our last blessing over the summer, the knitters have crafted 26 baby blanket and hat sets for the Northside NICU, 13 hats and 16 scarves for MUST, and 27 octopi and 10 baby hats for Kennestone Hospital.
