What started as a call for plastic shopping bags turned into something truly special at Mount View Care Center.
With more than 3,500 donated bags, our residents and staff worked together to turn plastic into “plarn”, and then into five hand-crocheted sleeping mats for individuals experiencing homelessness in Wausau. One resident crocheted all five mats by hand!
The mats were donated to Catholic Charities of Wausau last week, and we couldn’t be more proud of the heart, creativity, and purpose our residents brought to this meaningful project.
Thank you to everyone who donated bags and supported this effort. Your kindness helped make a difference.
A heartwarming project at Mount View Care Center transformed thousands of plastic bags into sleeping mats for those in need, showcasing resident creativity and meaningful community engagement.
