♥ We make "comfort" scarves and distribute them to shelters for abused women.
♥ We tie each scarf with a ribbon and provide a note signed by the giver. Often this is the first gift ever received by the recipient.
♥ Since we started in October 2008, we have distributed over 189,370 scarves, 18,825 hats, 4228 baby items, 155 shawls, and 114 blankets. Evidently, no matter how many comfort scarves and hats we make and distribute, there still are more women and children who need them. Thanks for all you do to help these vulnerable members of society.
♥ In 2024, we made 8735 scarves,1470 hats, and 600 other items and shipped to 70+ shelters for abused women in California. So far in 2025, we have distributed 3070 scarves, 280 hats, and 4 blankets.
♥ Please help us by knitting or crocheting “comfort scarves.” We supply free yarn!
