Matthew 25:35-40 KJV
"35
For I was an hungred, and ye gave me meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave
me drink: I was a stranger, and ye took me in:
36 Naked, and ye clothed me: I was
sick, and ye visited me: I was in prison, and ye came unto me.
37 Then shall the righteous answer him, saying, Lord,
when saw we thee an hungred, and fed thee? or thirsty, and gave thee
drink?
38 When saw we thee a stranger, and took thee in? or
naked, and clothed thee?
39 Or when saw we thee sick, or in prison, and came
unto thee?
40 And the King shall answer and say unto them,
Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the
least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me."

Warming Families in partnership LANDSEND.com and OneHeart.org will be making and
donating 25,000 warm hats to those in need across North
America, Canada, and even New Zealand! I am so excited about this partnership and the goal to
provide vital, warming hats to so many of our domestic violence
shelters, homeless shelters, and to others in need this winter!
Update Nov 3, 2009 -- Warming Families hat challenge is half over. We should have made 12,500 hats by now. We have made almost 9,000, so we are short, and we really need your help!!
3 Ways to DonateYour Handmade Hats:
1) You can send them to this chapter to Bev
2) Find a chapter nearer to you on this page: www.freewebs.com/warmingfamilies/usaareavolunteers.htm
3) Donate locally to your city shelters or county hospital etc, please do so and be sure to email Kaye Rogers to let her know your counts.
