Hey everyone,
A new date has been set for the first How Many People Can We Dress drive -- March 15!
For anyone new to the group, the general idea is that we try to make whole outfits for people instead of bits and pieces (although individual bits and pieces can be matched up later in the process to make an outfit). These items are all sent to the gracious Jezebelsf, who then ships the items to various places around the country.
For the second drive, which will have a deadline of June 1st, I'd like to ask all of you for your help for a personal mission.
A few days before Thanksgiving, my uncle passed away suddenly. He loved his hometown and was well-known there. I'd really love to be able to make a huge donation to a homeless shelter or two around here in his name around my dad's birthday (this was my dad's brother). So, I'd like to ask that I be one of the locations for the second HMPCWD drive. I'd really appreciate it and it would mean a great deal to me.
Any questions, let us know!

Thank you for the extension. I should have 1 outfit ready by March 15th, and then I will try to make some more items for the collection in June. After all the effort you have put into this group, I would be honored to make some items that you could donate in your uncle's memory.
Thanks, I really appreciate it :) ((hugs))
