we received around 20 sets of NEW queen size mattresses and box springs from Serta and are selling them for $250 a set

Most of you are aware that the proceeds of what we sell at Bobs Furniture help support the programs and services offered through Outreach Community Ministries.

One of my favorite programs is called “Friendly Visitors” and matches a senior in the area (often low-income with little or no family around to help) with a volunteer who commits to regularly checking in and visiting.

Three or four years ago one of our friendly visitors – Henny – approached me about Olga, one of the seniors in the program.  Olga loves to crochet.  It’s also hugely beneficial in that it keeps her busy and occupied during the long cold months each year.  Yet the cost of yarn was becoming too much for Olga and she had run out of friends to give the finished product to.  Would Bobs Furniture allow Olga’s afghans to be displayed – and sold – in the store with a minimum price tag of $25 (which covers the cost of the yarn)?  My answer?  Absolutely.

Even though illness kept Olga from creating as many afghans as she has in the past – what follows are 14 photos of the beautiful ones she did crochet.  Remember, Olga is asking for a minimum donation of $25 per afghan – which pays for the yarn.

And on that colorful, beautiful note – I’ll end my Friday post, dear reader!
