The Winston-Salem Jaycees are collecting head wear items to donate to the Duke Cancer Center until March 15, 2013. Donated items can include new or unused hats (baseball caps, toboggans, men's and women's fashion hats, holiday themed hats, etc.), scarves and wigs. Hats can be homemade or store bought. The items will be used by patients undergoing cancer treatment.
Hats can be given to a board member at any Jaycee event. Board members will be wearing a name tag. For a calendar of their events go here.
You can also drop hats off during business hours at the Forsyth Tech Small Business Center, 601 W. Fourth Street, Winston-Salem (Contact: Ashlea Morrison) or State Farm Insurance, 121 Vinegar Hill Road (Country Club and Peace Haven), Winston-Salem (contact: Rick Babusiak).
At the end of the head wear drive, the Jaycees will finish up with a fundraiser for Duke Cancer Center. They are holding a Luck of the Irish Bingo Fundraiser on March 15 at 7:00pm, which will be open to the public. Details are still being arranged, they will be posted here when finalized.

Women make mats for homeless by knitting plastic bag strips - Winston-Salem Journal: Local News
Donations of plastic bags and yarn are accepted at The Living Well Center for Lifelong Learning, in the basement of First Baptist Church in Rural Hall. You can drop your items off Tuesday-Thursday 10am-4pm.
“We’re giving back to the community. We’re helping those less fortunate, and we’re using things that we normally throw away,” said Knitwits member Jane Bodenhamer. “And what a great way to recycle them -- by giving the homeless a place to lay their head and body.”
