CSI DMC Initiates Scarf Blitz;Donates 150 Scarves for DC Homeless

As part of a community effort to provide warm clothing for the homeless of Washington, DC, CSI DMC launched a winter scarf blitz by dropping off 150 scarves to local hotel partners who either helped tie the scarves to trees along the streets of Washington, DC or passed them out to the local homeless community. Notes were attached to the scarves saying, ‘I’m not lost, please take me if you are cold.’ For more information on CSI DMC, go to www.csi-dmc.com.

CSI DMC started the idea of the winter scarf blitz in 2017. Since then, the concept has expanded to include other CSI DMC locations, like CSI Chicago. Next year, CSI DMC plans to conduct a nationwide scarf blitz in all its ‘cold-weather’ office locations, including: Baltimore and Nashville, Tennessee. Scarves were purchased by CSI DMC.

“We spend a lot of time getting to know the communities we plan events in, and so we saw the need of so many homeless without proper warm clothing---and we wanted to make a difference,” said Amberlee Huggins, president and chief marketing officer of CSI DMC in Falls Church, Va. “We appreciate the generous help from our local hoteliers who helped us distribute the scarves; it’s a simple way of saying ‘we care’,” said Huggins.
