Teen Outreach-Love's Outreach

      We give warmth to the many teens and young adults that have been living on the city streets of our country.  It is disheartening to think of the homelessness of people of any walk of life, but to have children abandoned, alone, and cold gives Love's Many Cloths the compelling desire to reach out with our talents to give LOVE, HOPE, and WARMTH!

      Our group makes cloths, hats, scarves, mittens, and afghans by hand.   Knitting, crocheting, looming, and sewing are the many talents that the Love's members use to provide the gifts to the many in need.

      There are organizations already established and serving these many teens throughout the big cities of the United States.  As our thankful contacts continue to be found, our gifts will be distributed to the teens and young adults during the winter season.

A Teen Outreach Center in Wenatchee, Washington

Love's Many Cloths provided scarves for many teens in December 2008.  A Christmas to remember for many who may not have received a gift otherwise.  The warmth of the scarf was felt not only on the outside, but also within each recipient as a sign of hope and love.

Desiree' and her husband, Steve, lovingly take in many teens that are reaching out.  These teens and young adults are looking for LOVE, HOPE, and COMPANIONSHIP.  Desiree' and Steve give guidance that enriches the lives of these teens/young adults out of the goodness of their own hearts.  They receive a very small wage for the time they share and spend making sure that these young lives are taken care of to the best of their abilities.  This couple has given up so much for so many!

  Our Love's members have come together to make sure that we are also doing what we can to help in many ways.
