You may remember the post a few weeks ago about the Knit-In that 4-H helped organize as part of the United Way Day of Caring. Today we made the first of two donations of the items that were made and donated that day. Sherita Jenkins, a social worker with the Gibson Cancer Center accepted the adult blankets and caps from Margaret Crites. Crites is the Director of the Robeson County Rape Crisis Center and one of three organizers of the Knit-In. You may remember Jenkins husband, Assistant County Manager Rod Jenkins, took part in the event. He learned how to knit that day and even completed a pink baby cap. Sherita Jenkins said the items will go to patients who need them and they will provide great comfort during a difficult time in their lives. Showing that the United Way Day of Caring is making a difference in people's lives right here in our community.
The rest of the items, newborn and youth items, will be donated to Southeastern Regional Medical Center next week. Stay tuned for more news on that donation.
