Scarf Drive

Let’s keep our downtown NYC neighbors in need warm.

What

Knit, crochet, or collect scarves, gloves, socks, andĀ hats for New Yorkers in need in the downtown Financial District. Or come to a Scarf Social for an hour of crafting with others!

When

Intake hours
Tue - Fri (10am - 2pm)
Sun (10am - 2pm)

Scarf Socials
Jan 11 @ 12:30pm

Where

John Street United Methodist Church
44 John Street
New York, NY 10038

Items can be left in the donation box in our lobby. Craft socials are downstairs in the church’s museum.

Why

Many New Yorkers will face greater financial hardship this year. While we also contribute to other winter clothing drives, we particularly wanted to give those in need the warmth of something homemade this year.

For questions or to give a bulk donation, email good@johnstreetchurch.org

More ways to help

Join our Coat Drive for homeless youth at Covenant House. Bring gently-used clothing and accessories to our lobby year-round to aid asylum seekers who visit the monthly resource fair run by NYC’s United Methodist churches.

Or donate to our General Giving fund to support projects ranging from these to historic preservation.
