Because the afghan project is gaining momentum, we are inviting people of all ages to contribute to this worthy cause.

I know we can do other things with our time, but is so easy to pick up a crochet needle and skeins of yarn to fashion an item that is greatly needed by people right here in our own community. A warm afghan is a wonderful way to wrap a senior citizen in Christian love.

We are also seeking donations of skeins of yarn for this project. We have members who will do the crocheting if materials are made available. I really believe we can exceed our goal and make a positive difference in the Orangeburg community.
