Calling all knitter circles, quilting bees, elementary schools and community centers!
Please join Make It Better Foundation and help give handmade or newly purchased blankets, hats, coats, gloves and scarves to more than 1,000 men, women and children this winter season.
Each year around the holidays, Make It Better Foundation and its partner nonprofits give the gift of warmth to those in need. This is our 5th Annual Warming Hearts & Hands program. You can help make this winter a warm one by dropping off new gloves, scarves, hats and coats at one of the two locations listed below. Donations are accepted before December 13, 2013.
