March 2013
Stuffed Animals were collected from our generous members this month to be distributed to children at both Mather and St. Charles Hospitals
Operation Gratitude:some of the girls working on scarves for the military got together in July 2011 to get inspired......and have a good time!
Many members have been working tirelessly to crochet, knit and/or sew.
Miller Place Homemakers give from the heart once again. Many of our members have signed up to make scarves and hats over the summer for our deployed soldiers. We will be donating them to Operation Gratitude. Operation Gratitude is an organization that collects items to send care packages to our deployed soldiers. They began after 9-11 and have to this date sent out 654,610 packages.
