As fall leaves change and snow becomes more likely, volunteers are collecting the green and blue bows that have lined the streets of the Twin Cities for the past two months.

Bows of Love is a volunteer group that started this show of support for the students and families of Annunciation Catholic Church following the tragic mass shooting, which took the lives of two children.

Now, they're asking for more help as these ribbons enter a new phase and evolve into a tribute of a different kind. Ribbons will be sent to Annunciation students who plan to create an art piece.

"We're really just doing the collection at this point and then [students are] going to turn it into something beautiful and permanent and meaningful to them," said Sarah Henning, a founding organizer of Bows of Love.
