Bromhof Knitwits spread warmth with blanket donation to Ferndale elderly residents
Story 1
A group of women from the Bromhof Knitwits has donated nearly 30 hand-crafted blankets to elderly residents at Avanteco Assisted Living in Ferndale.
The knitting and crocheting group, linked to the 67 Blankets for Nelson Mandela Day initiative, says the visit was about more than keeping residents warm, especially for those who rarely receive family visits.
Avanteco manager Lorraine Norval says the blankets gave residents hope and reminded them they are loved and cared for.
The group regularly creates blankets, scarves and beanies for people in need and says bringing comfort and happiness to others is what motivates their charity work.
