    Description

    Want to make a simple, heartfelt difference? Join us in knitting scarves to bring comfort and warmth to patients at the M Health Fairview East Bank Hospital. Your handmade scarves offer a cozy hug during challenging times and help brighten patients’ days.

    Why Scarves?

    Knitted scarves provide both physical warmth and emotional comfort—small gestures that mean a lot to someone facing a stressful hospital stay.

    How You Can Help:

    • Knit scarves of any style or color—your creativity makes each one special!
    • Scarves should be adult-sized (approximately 60" long and 6-8" wide).
    • Please wash scarves before donating to ensure they’re fresh and ready for patients.

    Flexible & Fun:

    Work on your scarves whenever it fits your schedule. Whether you’re an expert knitter or just starting out, every stitch counts!

    Drop-Off Details:

    Completed scarves can be dropped off at:

    500 Harvard St SE, Minneapolis, MN 55455

    Contact fumcvols@Fairview.org to schedule a weekday drop-off between 8 a.m. and 3:00 p.m.

    Join Us in Spreading Warmth and Kindness!

    Ready to knit some comfort? Let’s make a difference, one scarf at a time.
