It's time to knit warm things for several of our charities.

Food & Friends' scarf drive deadline is February 6. Hats, scarves, gloves and earwarmers are all welcome. They need to be unisex, and labeled with fiber & care information. Items will go in the Valentine's Day meal delivery with no time to match item to recipient. They can be mailed to Food & Friends, Attn: Scarf Drive, 219 Riggs Road NE, Washington, DC 20011.

Include your name & address (or a SASE) within the package so that we can send you a thank you note. You may also deliver your donation Monday - Saturday, or join us on the 2nd Wednesday of the month at Food & Friends.
