Delivery of woven mats and winter clothing to the MICAH

The Shelby County Bags to Mats project recently delivered seven mats to MICAH House in Council Bluffs. Three of the mats were crocheted by an anonymous donor. Twenty bags and boxes of winter clothing, gloves, and socks were also delivered from several families. Heather Beekhuizen, the director of Micah House, said there is a great need for warm gloves, shoes, and boots.
