a really long time ago my mom had a dream that i started buying fleece and making the fleece into scarf and mitten sets to hand out to homeless people in the winter time in chicago. ive been thinking a lot about this lately, especially as i am in need of a new winter coat and will probably end up spending $300 on a new coat. many people can not afford to eat, let alone keep warm during the long dark winter months. i figure i could get 2-3 sets out of one yard of fleece. so, maybe for each item i sell on the website, i could donate a portion of that to my scarf and mitten fund.

i was also thinking about having the option of having customers buy a scarf and mitten set for a homeless person for around $2.00. this probably wouldnt cover the whole cost, but i'd be willing to donate the rest of the expense.

what if you were a homeless person? do you think it would be weird to receive this randomly from a person walking down the street?
