Having a warm hat on your head is probably the single most important thing for a homeless person. A hat can keep the head dryer in rain and sleet, as well as warmer during the cold snowing months. A hat can keep someone alive when they live out in the elements.Even our folks lucky enough to have a roof over their heads in temporary shelters benefit from hats, and thus they are needed in a variety of sizes and colors for adults, and children. Thank you Marie P for this thoughtful donation of 2 pairs of socks which are always needed and 6 hats.
Keep up the good work.

ReplyDeleteWarm heads are coming from warm hearts....
ReplyDeleteMarie your hats are adorable! You have people covered top to bottom!
ReplyDeleteI used to be very active in an online organization that donated hats and they disbanded. Finally I "think" I've found a group...thank you, thank you.
ReplyDeleteBut I can't find an address to send the hats and other items too. But I've got a while, got to get busy and make some hats!! :)
Not sure how to update my profile either. I don't have a blog nor know much about blogging, guess I should learn.
Most important. Thank you for being here. Having a purpose and a goal in life, no matter how simple, gives one a reason to start the day. Now that I've found you, my day will start with joy. Again, thank you, thank you!!
