Fuzzies for the Homeless

 

Tara, a freshmen student, has been listening with the ear of her heart to the whispers of the Holy Spirit, "When I was a stranger, you clothed me...". Tara began her own charity called "Fuzzies for the Homeless". She enlisted the aid of her family, friends, and ladies in the Church to join her in knitting scarves for those out in the cold.

Hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of scarves were brought to Benedictine Academy for her classmates to help wrap and gift to people in need of a little loving care.


These beautiful scarves are made with love and are a tangible sign of God's caring presence in the world. The first stop was Dawn's Place in Philadelphia, Pennsylsvania.

Dawn's Place is a home to house and bring healing to victims of human trafficking and abuse. Their outreach is extensive in the local communitites and the need is great . "This is why we have put together a three story house that is comfortable and feels "like home," in which they can begin their journey into recovering their dignity."

Sr. Donna Jo delivered over 100 scarves to Dawn's Place this weekend and received the joy of seeing the smiles on their faces.
