Scarves With A Purpose
With cemperacures
beginning to drop in Ann
Arbor, LSA sophomore Mel
Hebeisen and the members of
her organization - Scarves
Wich A Purpose - are pro-
viding warmch to chnse in
need.
The club, which was scart-
ed last year, aims to provide
knitted scarves to area home-
less shelters and hospitals.
Hebeisen said the scarves act
as both wearable gifts and,
more importantly, reminders
that the recipient is cared fur.
"We try tn let people know
they are part of our commu-
nity by welcoming them with
our scarves and makingcthem
feel loved," Hebeisen said.
An avid knitter, Hebeisen
said she began knitting for
the cause in middle school at
home in Evanston, Ill. with
her mother. Upon coming to
the University, she founded
SWAP with support from her
academic learning communi-
ty, the Michigan Community
Scholars Program.
The club has since grown
and now has upwards of 100
members. Besides knitting
with one another, members
of the group also accept
donations from anyone offer-
ing scarves or supplies.
to addition to knitting,
Hebeisen said she and many
members of the club are edu-
cating themselves about the
devastating effects of pov-
erty.
"Last year, we were really
based on knitting and not
much else, but now we're
trying to educate our group
about homelessness and pov-
erty," she explained.
This semester, Hebeisen
said the group has plans to
partner with local nursing
homes to knit and bond with
residents while encourag-
ing them to donate to the
needy. She said most com-
pleted scarves are donated
to the Delonis Center home-
less shelter in downtown Ann
Arbor, but the group occa-
sionally donates to areas in
Chicago and is looking for a
shelter in Detroit as well
Hebeisen added that most
members don't know how
to knit upon joining but can
pick it up quickly at one of the
club's weekly meetings.
"The meetings get really,
really intense and it's kind
of stressful to teach so many
people (to knit). But it's fun..
and it's worth it," she said,
