Give coats, scarves, hats and mitts to those in need

Ever had to get through a winter with inadequate clothing? If you have gently worn coats that can be donated, you'll prevent this fate for someone else, and warm your own heart at the same time.

Do you have hats, mitts and scarves nobody wears anymore? Pay them forward for someone who's battling the cold weather.

Do you like to knit or crochet? Let your needles and hooks fly as you create warmth for others.
