There has been a lot of holiday presents for family members being knitted and crocheted by the ladies at Interim House. So many are busy making scarves, hats, and headbands for their children/moms/aunts/sisters. When I walk into the community room during free time, chances are I will find groups of women knitting and talking. Thanks for all of the good wishes and letters that we receive. It means so much to the women when I read the letters.
