Operation Stand Down
Scarves for Homeless Veterans
It's that time of year where we begin to think about our veterans and help them out with items to keep them warm during the cold Chicago weather.
The Lisle Woman's Club is collecting scarves again this year for the Homeless Veterans. Yarns Untold has teamed up and is a collection place, deadline is October 28th.
They are having a mobile Operation Stand Down because of Covid19.
Volunteers working with the Veterans Administration will be putting together essential bags which will include scarves, etc. for the fall and winter. This year's forecast calls for an extremely cold winter so we are hoping to supply enough of our Veterans with items that will keep them warm.
The scarves can be store bought (Dollar Tree had sold them in the past), knit or crocheted, cut from fleece fabric (I believe 8 scarves, 6-8 inches wide, can be cut from a yard of fleece. And they are very warm.
Have a scarf making day with your family or friends, and please pass the word.
Thanking you in advance. Anything you can donate is much appreciated.
