RECOGNITION
Warmer Winters would not be able to serve its members and the profession without the contributions of our volunteers. We have very active and professional leaders, but it is the multitude of volunteers who share their time and insight that drive our non-profit organization.
To warm people in need, both their bodies and hearts. To warm their bodies we use a thick, heavy yarn that makes the warmest sweaters, hats, and mittens. Most of our funding goes towards purchasing this yarn. We warm their hearts by giving to people who have little, brand new items made by people who care.
