Inmates in a select group at the Cache County Jail are spending their free time crafting beanies to be donated to charitable services in the area.
Lt. Roy Hall, the jail commander for the Cache County Sheriff’s Office, said the beanies are currently being donated to the Little Lambs Foundation for Kids, and others will soon go to CAPSA. Currently, about half a dozen inmates are involved in the project, producing an average of two beanies a day.
According to Hall, the project was implemented last month by an enterprising jail deputy, Brittani Egbert, who put yarn and looms donated to the jail and locked away some years ago to good use.
For Cache Valley residents who would like to be involved with service in the community but aren’t sure where to start, they need not look farther than JustServe.org, a free website that allows individuals to find service opportunities with nonprofit, faith, community and government organizations.
JustServe is a way to âjust serve,â connecting volunteers to their community by finding opportunities to serve geared toward their specific abilities and time available for service. The service, provided by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, encourages organizations to post their volunteer needs as well as to encourage individuals to sign up to help out.
