Red Scarf Project Blog

What is the Red Scarf Project?


  • The Red Scarf Project, a project of the Orphan Foundation of America, or Orphan.org, collects scarves to send in Valentine's Day care packages to college students who have aged out of foster care. These brave young people are going it on their own and trying to improve their lives and the community by attending college. The care packages are welcome tokens of encouragement to young people who otherwise receive little to no mail. Your scarf should be soft (any material), unisex design, and approximately 60 inches long by 5 to 8 inches wide. Machine washable is a plus, but it is not absolutely necessary. Mail it to: Orphan Foundation of America The Red Scarf Project 21351 Gentry Drive Sterling, VA 20166 ..but not until September 1, 2009-December, 2009. Please read all the info in this blog. Most of your questions will be answered here. Also, please check out the Red Scarf Ravelry group. If you still have questions that remain unanswered, please email me at norma.knits@gmail.com

A Call for College Students

Dscn40140001_1

CALLING ALL COLLEGE-STUDENT KNITTERS FOR THE RED SCARF PROJECT!  We need you to identify yourselves for the following:

I’m a senior at Cal Poly University in San Luis Obispo. I’m majoring in journalism and I’m currently taking a class on feature writing, where we have an assignment to come up with a news story that could possibly be published. So, I thought about doing a feature on the rising trend of knitting among college students. Would you have any information on how many college students are involved with the Red Scarf Project this year?

I don't know if grad students count, but that's what I am.

What about an older part time grad student? That would be me, at least in two more days, when the semester starts up.

Yet another grad student here.
I'm in Public Health at UC Berkeley, and graduating in May!
