Positive Living Niagara welcomes donations of these. During HIV/AIDS Awareness Week in November, the toques and scarves are hung from lamp posts and trees in the Queenston Neighbourhood of St. Catharines. A tag attached to the scarves provides information about HIV and encourages people – especially the homeless - to take the toque and scarf to keep warm and share the information with others.

Or, if you are THRIFTING and see a red toque or scarf…
​
HIV/AIDS doesn’t discriminate. It affects women and men, people of all ages, and individuals from every ethnicity and skin color. If you’d like to knit or crochet for this event, please contact us! They need to be RED. Ideally, the scarves at 5” wide by 5’ long. The toques? Any fashion you’d like! Positive Living can provide the yarn required. We’d like them by mid November.

The news cycle has moved on, but people in Jamaica and St. Vincent are still struggling to pick up the pieces and rebuild their lives. They have lost their roofs, farms, livestock, and experienced extensive damage from winds and flooding. Three weeks after the storm, many are still without power and running water. While everyone is grateful that loss of life was limited, the grief of losing livelihoods is very real. 
 
Area farmworkers are leading an online fundraiser, with the goal of raising $6000 to support 40 families in Jamaica and St Vincent. See http://migrantworkersalliance.org/hurricane-relief
