Dish Cloths for the Food Pantry and Market!!
Back in October I spent the most wonderful evening with a ladies’ group from the First United Methodist Church in Troy – so colorful and welcoming, I was delighted they wanted to hear all about the Virtual Market that operated in their First Place Christian Center, as well as all the misadventures of the Ruffians on our family farm :-) As devoted Christian mothers and grandmothers, they certainly seemed able to relate if the amused laughter and encouraging comments were any indication!
That night simply solidified my appreciation for the FUMC community – every group and member with whom I’ve come into contact since our partnership began at the founding of this Market has been nothing but friendly, helpful, and supportive. Their generosity and all of the many ongoing outreach programs are truly inspiring!
One of the ladies, Janet Wright, approached me that night with yet another idea – she had been making dish cloths and wash cloths for a mission in Honduras. Being unable now to send the cloths to Honduras for one political reason or another, Janet wanted to continue making more cloths and offer them to the Virtual Market!
So with a heartfelt THANK YOU to both Janet and the FUMC community, we are now able to offer these beautiful dish/wash cloths on the Market, and the proceeds will be split evenly between the First Place Food Pantry and the Virtual Market :-)
100% cotton and hand-knitted, these cloths are approximately 10 inches square, and come in an incredible array of colors – both solid and variegated! And they can conveniently be tossed in both the washer and dryer!
