Homeless Winter Warm Up - a Success!

Thank you to everyone who contributed to my Homeless Winter Warm Up and donated a scarf from their closet or a beanie from their hat rack this year. Thanks to you, we were able to pass out scarves to the homeless to help keep them warm this winter.

Here are some of the scarves we collected and simply bundled up with blue ribbon. 

I went out with my friend, Bruno, on Christmas day to Civic Center in San Francisco and passed several scarves out to the homeless men and women in the city. It was wonderful to see the peoples faces light up with such surprise and appreciation. It is so rewarding and touching to see happiness in the faces of people who are alone and often forgotten on holidays. I also passed scarves out in the Mission District on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day. Thanks to your generosity over thirty people are going to have a warmer winter this year in San Francisco.

I am grateful for your support and so are they. Thanks again for your support.

Remeber, We Are the Weapon.

December: HOMELESS WINTER WARM UP

SCARVES FOR THE HOMELESS DONATE A SCARF FROM YOUR CLOSET! HELP KEEP SOMEONE WARM.


I am collecting SCARVES to pass out to the homeless on Christmas Day. I need your scarves! We all have a surplus of scarves and I'm sure you can spare one from your closet. Your scarf will be passed out to a homeless person in San Francisco on Christmas Day. Your scarf will help keep someone's neck, nose or ears warm this winter. San Francisco can be brutally chilly in the winter. Scarves help the homeless stay warm and shield them from the wind.

There's still time left to DONATE A SCARF TODAY! Crocheted, Knitted, Cotton, Wool, whatever... it will help warm someone up.



PLEASE, Make sure your scarf is CLEAN and in GOOD CONDITION. You are welcome to send a card or note with your scarf that will be given to the recipient. Just neatly roll your scarf up, send it unwrapped in an envelop and mail it to:

The Scarf Collection is over until next year. Thank you!
Make someone smile this Christmas!
