In 2005, Holly Hubenschmidt, a librarian at Webster University, coordinated a project in support of the Orphan Foundation of America. Groups on the main campus in St. Louis and the Kansas City campus made red scarves which were donated for Valentine's Day care packages for college students coming out of foster care and entering college. The following year a different charitable recipient was chosen for the donated crafts.
Eventually the annual project became an official Webster Works Worldwide project and was named "Webster Warmth". Since then hundreds of handmade items have been donated to agencies here in the St. Louis area as well as in the U.S.
