What are plarns you ask?![]()
![]()
A plastic mat that is handmade by members in GFWC - Charlotte, MI given to people experiencing unhoused conditions. Families may be living in a shed, garage, or tent. In these circumstances, an insulated barrier between the ground and a person can help maintain warmth. In addition to plarns, we hand out heavy and lightweight blankets when on hand.![]()

This project has been ongoing for many years. Every few months, ladies will drop off a few plarns that are woven together each week at Evelyn Bay. Plastic bags (that are unusable, ripped) are cut into strips, connected together as yarn, and crocheted into a mat. ![]()

The family that recieved this plarn today, will use it in the bed of their truck with blankets to cover. They are comforted knowing people care. We also provide resources on where to turn and what nexts steps are for families in these circumstances.![]()
