Sue’s Kitchen Morning Coffee – By Aaron Hall
A Wallaceburg family is doing their part to help “warm-up” Wallaceburg once again this year.
Tiff Caughy and her daughters, Brooke, Jamie and Aly, have started distributing mittens, scarves and hats around town. Same as last year, the family took advantage of the Wallaceburg BIA Holiday Open House to begin placing the knitted items on trees around the downtown core.
The items are free for people in the community to take, if they are in need of warmth this holiday season.
Tiff told us last year the idea started after her mother-in-law sent her a few photos of the ideas from Facebook and Pinterest.
“It was a picture of some trees with some scarves on it,” Tiff said. “She thought this would be a good idea with the girls, because I have three young girls. So I decided to make six or so and do it with my girls because they were interested.”
The idea then shifted over to a knitting group Tiff meets with at the Wallaceburg Library called ‘Chicks with Sticks.’ They gather every Thursday from 1:30 p.m. to 3 p.m.
The family made 37 items for last year, and they upped their output this year with 134 items.
Awesome.
Kudos to Tiff and her daughter’s for giving back to the community and helping those in need.
