This is our third year collecting handmade baby blankets for the Holiday Season for Portland area babies and families who are fleeing domestic violence or have suffered abuse or neglect. In 2009, we have the good people at Ayla Birth running the drive and very much appreciate the hard work of Willow Birth, our 2008 coordinators.~Anne~http://www.blogger.com/profile/15977306539847301099noreply@blogger.comBlogger311100tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4477858546655971677.post-23877508238379062162010-01-21T06:08:00.000-08:002010-01-21T06:08:52.038-08:00Last week we dropped off half of our items to <a href="http://www.ywca-pdx.org/dv_about_yoda_house.html">Yolanda House</a>, a domestic violence shelter in Portland, Oregon.&nbsp;
