Sponsor
There was no real sponsor for this episode, but you can find
links to all the affiliates of the program on the Be a Booster page.
Instead of highlighting a sponsor, I’d like to point you to another
charity I just learned about. Stash dive for some cotton or
majority cotton yarn, and knit or crochet some soap
sacks for the local food pantry or homeless shelter! Soap S.A.C.K. has links to websites that
will help you find a local place to donate, or you can send them in
for them to donate.
