This year's Red Scarf

  This is the third year I've been involved with the Red Scarf project.  It 's a phenomenal effort that provides scarves and other goodies to college students who were formerly in foster care.  If you know anything about that system, in any state, you know what an accomplishment it is to make it to college if you are a product of it.  These young women and men don't have families to send them care packages but the Red Scarf project rectifies that situation. Knitters contributing to the project not only provide a scarf but are encouraged to put together a whole package of items desired by the average college student.  This year my recipient will not only get this scarf, but I plan to include a Dunkin Donuts gift card,pens, highlighters, post-its, and some other items that I think might be enjoyed or needed.

If you want to get involved, click on the link above and learn more about it.  If you don't feel like knitting a scarf, you can always send a donation.  Try it, you'll like it.
