Dolly McNutt Plaza is filled with 1,000 scarves, hats, and gloves for those in need.
A warm scarf, gloves, and hat, Lashona Henderson said it s the little things she s grateful for this Christmas. She came to Scarf In The Park to collect items for herself and friends. It s a blessing that they re giving this out you know because a lot of us don t have no where to go, Henderson said. You know And we re cold and we don t have families really to do much for us. And it s just a blessing to be able to get a hat and gloves and a blanket.
The 4th annual Scarf in the Park â a yearly Guess Foundation event that distributes hats, scarves, gloves and socks to those in need â will return on Christmas Eve this year in Dolly McNutt Plaza, a release announced.
Paducahâs homeless and families in need may begin selecting needed clothing at 2 p.m. A handwritten note will be pinned to every item and will remain up until all items are gone.
âWe know there are people in our community who will have nowhere to go on Christmas Eve,â said 17-year-old Guess Foundation founder Morgan Guess. âWe also know they will be cold, and likely sad and lonely. When we thought about hosting this project, we thought Christmas Eve would be the best night to show them that they are seen and cared about. No one should go without a present, and we believe no one should be cold.
