The Dollar Store here sells fuzzy winter hats and gloves for a buck. Many of us have old hats and gloves stuffed in drawers that we don't really much care for or just don't ever wear. What about those horrible mittens Aunt Gertrude knitted you? Heck, maybe you can knit up a hat by hand!

Hey DU, I challenge you all to get a couple of sets of hats and gloves together, maybe put them in a ziplock in your car, and keep them there for a winter. If you live here where it gets cold, then you know it is only a matter of time until you see a cold homeless person. Imagine if every DU member wrangled up an old pair of gloves and a hat and warmed someone with them. More than a 100,000 cold people who are doing just a little bit better.

I am just finishing up a food drive at work. We have a great big box of food, toothpaste, rice and canned chicken already. We can't all do something so big, but we can all give away a hat, eh?

A happy and warm December to you all and may we all have a chance to make the world a little bit better place this season.



And don't forget Wishadoo this holiday season. it is DU but with a heart that grew ten times too big. :0)) http://www.wishadoo.org/wishlist/139/help-for-new-engine-for-disabled-van/
