So Miri, inspired by Alex and Brett Harris' books "Do Hard Things" and "Start Here" decided to sponsor a blanket drive for local homeless shelters in our area. After doing some research, she found that we have 14 alone in our tiny county. One of them is even a children's shelter. Her project calls for 50 handmade blankets- all knitted, crocheted, knotted, sewn, etc. by volunteers on the Harris' Rebelution forum. Once she gets them all in (deadline being Feb. 6), she plans to pass them out amongst the various shelters. We'll be uploading photos and other such updates as the project progresses. I think it's a pretty awesome and practical idea myself.
What selfless project could you embark on in 2011? Check out those books and the Rebelution link for some inspiration. Be sure and leave us a comment about your project.
