Southside From the Heart joins its parent organization, From the Heart, to help with the Gulf oil clean-up efforts. Knitters and crocheters at the Hopewell Library are spending the next few weeks stitching as many 10” cotton washcloths as possible to donate to the Gulf Shores where workers will use them to bathe oil-soaked wildlife.

You may participate in these efforts by donating 100% cotton yarn, stitching 10” washcloths and bringing them to the library, and/or by participating in our knitting/crocheting groups.
