MPI-Wisconsin Giving BackOutreach Project Schedule
October, 2010 – SHARE- Mitten Plus ProjectAbout SHARE - Mitten Plus Project This project is made up of volunteer knitters, crocheters, and sewers that meet and create beautiful handmade hats, scarves, and mittens for those that cannot afford to purchase them. They donate these items to shelters, schools, nursing homes, halfway houses and other similar places. With Winter here this could really help to bring some cheer and help keep people warm. What is needed: We will be collecting any color of 4 ply yarn, but it must be either worsted, Caron, or Red Heart Super Saver yarn. So while you are out and about shopping please grab a spool of yarn and bring it to the MPI meeting on January 6th. If you have any questions feel free to contact Justine Alexander at justinealexander@sixtitles.com or 608-213-9238.

A thank you from Soles4SoulsSoles4Soles has a simple mission: To impact as many lives as possible with a gift of shoes. Stan's — Fit For Your Feet would like to take this opportunity to thank you personally for joining us during our Share-A-Pair Shoe Drive by collecting shoes on behalf of Soles4Souls. It is only because of compassionate people like yourself that we were able to collect footwear to help those in need. Through the combined efforts of many people, 25,000 pairs of shoes were collected this year!! A portion of the shoes collected will be given to Repairers of the Breach, a local not-for-profit organization, helping people in need of a fresh start. Soles4Souls will distribute the shoes you donated to the people of Haiti and Chile and other victims of disaster and those living in poverty. So once again, thank you for your kindness. Sincerely, — Jim Sajdak, President

The
MPI-WI Community Outreach program sponsored
the Happily Ever After Animal Sanctuary, a no-kill
facility. Tons of items were donated by our
generous members, including: towels, sheets,
bleach, dog and cat food, treats and more. They
were extremely excited to see all of the items!
Thank you to everyone who donated to this great
cause! 
In September the Community Outreach Team, with
help from all of our generous MPI-WI members,
kicked off our 2010-2011 year by donating several
items to the Children’s Hospital of Wisconsin – Fox
Valley. We carried away bags full of infant
clothes, stuffed animals, crayons and markers,
activity books and games. 
In October 2009, we collected several supplies,
snacks, sports equipment, and goodies that were
shipped to our brave men and women serving in
Iraq and Afghanistan.
