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

San Diegans, Come On Down!

Hi.  I'm thinking of doing a story on this project and wondering if you can put me in touch with any participants in the San Diego area? Thanks.

Hi!
I'm a San Diego knitter. I just found out about this project 2 weeks ago and started my scarf this weekend. I've only been knitting a few months, so it's fairly slow-going and probably won't be sent until Feb. 1, but I'm determined to finish it in time and get it there!
