Thanks to a few friends of St. Michael, we were able to hang over fifty handmade (and a few more store-bought) scarves, hats, and mittens along Main Street in downtown Hyannis. In addition to the knit items, we distributed twenty-five “care bags”, which were filled with items such as socks, personal care items, snacks, and a Dunkin’ Donuts gift card. The care bags had been assembled on Friday by St. Michael’s homeschool meet-up group, and a crew of nineteen were gifted a balmy day on Sunday, February 5 to spread warmth to those stuck out in the cold. Thank you to all who made this project possible!
“On the coldest of days in the midst of winter, I walked out of our office on Main Street in Hyannis and found this lovely, handknit scarf – patiently waiting for the right person to come claim it, wrap up, and be that much warmer. This was placed by St Michael the Archangel Orthodox Church. What a gesture of love, understanding and hope.”
