Sanxiang Metropolis Daily on December 22 (all-media reporter Wang Zhifang correspondent Yao Xiaolan) "Daddy Yang, it's cold, we will send you a set of hand-knitted wool hats and scarves, for you to try?" "Thank you so much! It's really warm to wear, thank you for ......" Today, Yangtianhu Community, Tianxin District, Changsha City, together with the Xiaoweixian Social Work Service Center of Yuhua District, Changsha City, held a "needle-heart-to-needle" warm winter activity, and distributed hats and scarves to 30 elderly people in the jurisdiction to protect against the cold and keep warm.
It is understood that these knitwear are handmade by caring volunteers in the service center. "We had a total of 21 volunteers involved in weaving, and it took us two weeks from yarn procurement to weaving. Volunteer Gu Man told reporters that everyone is usually very busy, and can only take advantage of the evening or weekend time to catch up with the progress, the purpose is to catch up with the arrival of the winter solstice, so that the elderly can warm up activities.
Considering that there are more than 300 seniors over the age of 80 in the jurisdiction, the volunteers said that such activities will continue to be held in the future. Influenced by the volunteers, the elderly Wang Xiaoyu took the initiative to go to the community to express her desire to participate in weaving and giving love.
"I also wore sweaters when I was younger, and now I want to try again. A week ago, Wang Xiaoyu, who is in her 80s, took the yarn from the volunteers and took it home to weave. "The old man really touched us, and it took 4 days to knit a hat and a scarf and send it over. Gu Man told reporters.
In 2019, Sanxiang Metropolis Daily, together with 20 media across the country, including Ali Public Welfare, launched a large-scale warm winter public welfare action. Volunteers are recruited from the society to knit thick gloves, warm scarves, comfortable hats and other winter materials together to help children resist the invasion of cold and send warmth to the cold winter. And this event is an extension of "needle and needle".
