NORWICH – Community members looking to donate gently used winter wear can find an opportunity right in Chenango County through The Scarf Project.

Norwich residents Autumn Joseph and Jamie Maerz came up with The Scarf Project after they talked about having an excess number of scarves in their closets.

Maerz said, "We had a bunch of scarves left over that we hadn't worn in a while that we would like to give to a good cause and it just spiraled from there. We decided that we were going to find out those in the area who had the same problem, and give the items to people that need them."
