Sunflower Hats for Kids' Closet

Sunflower Hats for Kids’ Closet

  SaddleBrooke Community Outreach (SBCO) recently received over 400 knitted hats, destined for the SBCO Kids’ Closet clothing program.  Children in our 100 mile service area who are eligible to come to Kids’ Closet may receive a fall and a spring wardrobe.  The fall wardrobe includes a knitted hat to keep the kids warm while waiting for school buses.  The hats are often created by local knitters and very much appreciated by the children.

  A group of women, part of needlework club in the community of Sunflower in Marana, got out their needles and hooks and went to work.  Their leader, Dawn, delivered over 400 hats to the SBCO office in the SaddleBrooke commercial center.  Dawn was the creator of 320 of the hats, Carol stitched up 100, and several other participants donated their finished products to this project.

  The fall wardrobe consists of 3 pairs of long pants, 3 shirts, 6 pairs of underwear and socks, a windbreaker, sneakers, hygiene items, reading books, and a hat!  The youngsters are selected by their school administrators to participate in the program, based on need.  They are generally bussed to the closet according to an established schedule.  Each child is paired with an SBCO volunteer to select all the items for the wardrobe.  All items are new; the donation of hats helps keep the cost of an average fall wardrobe at $75 per child.
