       Mary Anne Hollingshead has knitted warm clothing items for the Jimmie Hale Mission and Jessie's Place for a while now.  As she's worked to help others less-fortunate, her ministry has grown tremendously to include others who have turned their love of knitting into a way to benefit the needy.
