CANAL FULTON A group of residents at Chapel Hill Community is turning plastic shopping bags into sleeping mats for the homeless.
In September, residents of the independent living community Kroft Commons began meeting to construct the mats.
They have completed three and have at least that many in the works and ready to give to someone who could use it.
While living in Wooster, Linda Ditzler saw the local library was teaching people how to make plastic bag sleeping mats. She thought she would give it a try.
Ditzler said she caught on pretty quickly without any experience crocheting.
