Homeless shelter philanthropy?

[ThetaPhiPenguin]

Hello everyone! I am the philanthropy chair of my sorority, and have been trying to plan a recruitment philanthropy event that involves helping the homeless. I attempted to get in touch with a local shelter to ask about volunteering there, but have received no response, and I only have two weeks to plan an event. In the past, we have made and decorated scarves to give to a homeless shelter; I thought it would be nice to make something for the homeless, but I'm not sure what. Has anyone done something like this with shelters in the past? (Since it isn't long before Valentine's Day, I thought something that went with that theme might be nice.) Thank you so much for any help you can give!!
