| Alex and her grandma (Nancy Meyer who also taught at DCDS) knit hats and scarfs for two organizations. |
- St. Leo’s Soup
Kitchen in Detroit, MI (4860 15th Street) where they feed
hundreds of homeless men on a daily basis and the soup kitchen gives them hats
and scarfs in the winter months
They also knit hats and scarfs for the Foster Care Program
of Wayne county and that program takes in hundreds of children under the age of
18 who have nothing but the clothes on their back when they arrive.
Alex shared that making hats and blankets make her feel like she is doing
something right, especially when she thinks about the need of the people she
helps and contrasts this with the everyday basics that can very easily be taken
for granted. “I realize how fortunate I am and need to do what I can to
help others.”
