Mama Bear Project for Womenade

Thanks to the advocacy of Lois Crotser, the Mama Bear project this year will be blanket throws for Womenade clients! These throws, that will be ready in December, will be made of 12"x12" squares knitted together with a heart pattern or plain. They will make colorful, warm additions to our donations to referred children and adults.

This amazing group of knitters meets Fridays at 11:00 at Yarns at the Adobe, on Chorro Street across from the Mission. Anne Gough, owner of the yarn shop, generously donates her time, talents, and a yarn stash. Knitters donate yarns, as well. You are welcome to join them as a knitter or crocheter, or just stop by to visit and encourage while enjoying the Adobe's peaceful garden.

Prado Donations via the Food Bank

One positive way to help Prado Day Center feed the 90 - 120 clients who visit daily is through donations to our local Food Bank. Designate your donation to the CAPSLO-Prado Day Center Account. The Food Bank address is 2212 Golden Hill Road, P.O. Box 93447, Paso Robles, CA 93446. This will allow Prado staff to get the food they need delivered to the Center. Thanks for all you do to make a difference in San Luis Obispo County!

Henry W. Bull Foundation

Womenade has received a $1,000 grant from the Henry W. Bull Foundation! We are grateful for this connection, and will use these funds, as well as all donations we receive, to help those in need in San Luis Obispo County.

Thanks from SLO Child Development Center

Hi Ladies, I just wanted to share a story with you about how Womenade has affected our Center. We have asked for your help four times now for everything from glasses to tires and rent. Each time, you have been so generous to our families in need. When people come to us in crisis, and we think that Womenade may be able to help them, we tell our families that we have "fairy godmothers". When one of the mothers returned today with her thank you card for the glasses she purchased last week, she came up with a quizzical look and asked, "How do I give mail to my fairy godmothers?". I thought that was really special and indicative of the wonderful work you do. Thank you with all of our hearts!
