Your wonderful handmade creation will be sent in a Valentine’s Day
Care Package to an OFA student enrolled in college or trade school.


In 2005, OFA launched a unique initiative to warm the hearts (and
necks) of college-bound foster youth. They began taking donations of
handmade red scarves to put into our Valentine's Day Care Packages.


Word spread quickly around the charitable knitting/crocheting
community. In the first year, they took in 3,500 scarves. The following
year, that number swelled to over 15,000.
