Craft Hope




Craft hope's project 6 :: foster care teens


Hi Ladies!  I just wanted to let you all know of this great site that's helping kids all over the world!  If you have the need to be crafty and are looking for something crafty to get your hands on right now, why don't you try this!


Craft Hope has partnered with The Orphan Foundation of America’s Red Scarf Project. The Orphan Foundation serves thousands of foster teens throughout the U.S. They provide college scholarships, connect them with mentors and internships, send them care packages, and testify for them before Congress. Each year 25,000 students ‘age out’ of the foster care system and the Orphan Foundation is committed to helping them become tomorrow’s successful citizens. They launched the Red Scarf program in 2005 to send red scarves to warm the hearts (and necks) of college bound youth. They began taking these donations to include in their Valentines Day care packages.


Click the link above to get more detailed information.  There is a free pattern on their website, along with details on the size of scarf and address to mail your to.  


I am not a knitter or nor do I crochet, so I will be using my Nifty Knitter!
