For the past five years, the Valley chapter of the From the Heart charity group has been knitting for a special cause.

It has donated nearly 6,000 hats, scarves and blankets to local hospitals and families in need each winter.

"It's a fun thing. It's a needed thing. I have been raised years and years ago with the mindset of if you can do something to help someone, you do," says Peggy Vreuls with From the Heart.

The group meets at Books a Million in Waynesboro on Tuesdays and Thursdays.

So far this year, the group has donated more than 1,000 hand knit items.

A committee in the House of Delegates has sent a bill to the House floor that would allow private, faith-based adoption agencies to discriminate against prospective parents based on their sexual orientation. Would you support this?

Yes, I think if it is a private organization it's okay.
No, there should be no discrimination.
It should depend on a case by case basis.
