Blankets for Ruth’s House: The Faribault Public Schools seventh-grade AVID students presented 20 blankets to Ruth’s House Director, Ruth Hickey. Moms and children at Ruth’s House will treasure these handmade gifts from local kids.

Bears for Ruth’s House: Ruth’s House is the benefit of a partnership between the United Way and Faribault Woolen Mills. Woolen mill employees made about 40 cuddly woolen bears that will be distributed by Ruth’s House and the Community Action Center of Northfield to area children during the Christmas holidays.
