2014 Special Olympics Iowa Scarf Project

(Photos from the 2013 Winter Games)

• Knitted/crocheted scarves, hats, mittens or "earmuff" headbands will be accepted.
  

• This year's colors are Grey Heather (#0400) & Dark Orchid (#0776)
  

• Items will be given to Special Olympics Athletes, Coaches, and Volunteers at the 2014 Winter Games.  These are held in Dubuque January 2014 and will be distributed at the banquet.
  

• Donations will be accepted through November 1st or until 800 items have been received.  Please check this website or call 515-986-5520 for an update on how many items have been received.  We do not have room to store more than this - if we have already reached our limit, consider donating your items to a local homeless shelter.  After Winter Games, if there are any leftover items they will be given to a school, facility, or charity in need.
