Homeward Bound
We are a community of knitters making one-of-a-kind scarves for those in need during the cold winter months.
Why Homeward Bound? Wandering soldiers of the US civil war would identify themselves with these simple words, trying to make their way home after the war ended. This is a proposed origin of the word hobo.
'Home' can be anywhere these days. It can mean being on the move or in a fixed place. But the journey doesn't have to feel so long with a little warmth and support, from one community to another.
What to do?
Contact us!
Knit a scarf in the colour, style, and material of your choice
Sew the Homeward Bound label onto one end of the scarf
Write your name on the other label and sew it onto the scarf
Drop your scarf off at an appropriate organization or charity that has direct contact with the homeless, or those living on the street
This is a not-for-profit endeavor. For information about the project, to acquire some labels, or for suggestions on where to donate your scarf, please email :
