**** HOLIDAY BREAK ****

We will be taking a break from doing challenges until just after Christmas.  We will continue to post here on the blog, as well as our Facebook page, during our break and we are always available to help or answer questions anyone may have.

The Annie's Caring Crochet Club kit, which highlighted The Pink Slipper Project, was mailed out this month and we would like to welcome anyone who is just finding us in this way.   We do not have a central collection location.  Instead, we do weekly "challenges" where we list the specific amounts of slippers in various size/gender categories (and also, washcloths) for a specific shelter.  We only do one challenge at a time and take pledges from our members for the items they wish to make and send directly to that shelter within the next month.  Once pledges are received for all requested items, the challenge is considered "closed".

No pledge is ever considered too small!  One pair of slippers, one washcloth, one pet blanket - each one counts towards the goal for that shelter!

When we are on a break or waiting on information for another challenge, many of our members continue to make and stockpile items so they are ready to pledge on the next challenge.

Our PSP Team is here to help and answer any questions you may have as quickly as we can.  You may send us a message or comment under this post - or you may also email us at:  thepinkslipperproject@gmail.com 

Wishing everyone a peaceful and joyful holiday season!

UPDATE -  CHALLENGE #43-2018 HAS BEEN COMPLETED!!!

___________________________________________


GOOD AFTERNOON!

We are almost to our goal for R.E.S.T. in Seattle, Washington.   We just need pledges for 3 more pairs of women's slippers to complete the challenge.    Won't you help with a pledge today?   Even a pledge for one pair gets us closer and you have up to one month to make what you pledge and send off to the mailing address listed in the challenge information.  Easy peasy!   

If you are new to our page, there is a suggested Sizing Chart for the various categories listed in our challenges.   Slippers should be made with acrylic yarn (no wool) and washcloths (facecloths) should be made with cotton yarn (crocheted or knitted) or a very soft fabric,such as, cotton, terry cloth, flannel, etc. (if sewn).    There should be no small attachments on booties or children's slippers due to a possible choking hazard.

We also have a Pinterest page (link in the right column) where you can find links to free (and some paid) patterns for slippers and washcloths.

A Donation Tag is available for printing on paper, cardstock, or blank business cards and can be included in your package or attached to each item.   Reverse side is optional and no personal information needs to be included.   Use of the tags is optional.

If you have any questions, please contact us!

SAFE NEST
North Las Vegas, Nevada

****CHALLENGE COMPLETED****

Safe Nest was opened in 1978 with 12 beds. Today, 40 years later, they are the largest-- with 70 beds--and most comprehensive domestic violence program in Nevada.  All shelters rely on donations from the public to maintain the level of service.  Donations can be in any form. Many shelters have a Wish List on their website of items that are needed such as laundry detergent to socks, slippers and wash cloths included.  If you live in the Las Vegas area, you have likely seen purple and white donation bins.  They belong to Safe Nest and have been placed throughout the Las Vegas Valley area.  They are emptied on a regular basis and have proven to be a very effective method to increase donations. 

Safe Nest is a repeat shelter for PSP. We would like to increase our donations this time and send them the following:
