The final tally for 2013:
Totals:
Total Scarves: 153
Total Hats: 42
Total Soaps: 125 + 6 pounds of soap scraps!
Misc: 313
Total so far: 633
Items to go: Over 600 - goal met. Still need more scarves and hats
Note: SW expanded its donations beyond its initial goals of just scarves and hats this year. With a goal of 300 items in 2013, I am pleased to announce that over 600(!) items were donated to various causes. WOW.
In particular, I would like to highlight the donation to the Clean the World project, for which, I could not have donated as much as did if it weren't for a few people (Peggy, Jennifer, Marci, among them). Thank you!
And thank you for supporting SW! Goals for 2014 will be posted very soon! Unfortunately, everything slowed down a bit in October with SW. My family and I moved in 2013 to Alaska. I hope to donate many items to local Anchorage charities on the behalf of SW in 2014.
Warmth to the Last Frontier!

Thank you, everyone! Your goods will go to a good cause!
