Re-purposing trash bags for the homeless


--by mindyjourney, posted Apr 5, 2017
The Girl Scout's mom keeps herself busy at these cookie stands by crocheting sleeping mats for the homeless out of plastic bags.

She graciously allowed me to take her photo :)). Look at that lovely design and her smile!

Gave both her and her daughter Peace doves, which they so loved 💚and told them I had to go home, since I was out of doves!
