200 Scarves - Assorted Sizes 
200 Mittens - Assorted Sizes 

If your organization will need hats for the 2013/14 winter season please send an email to BethsHatsForHope@gmail.com. We are taking requests at this time and will do all we can to help.

I would like to create a group that meets at least once a month where we can get together and talk about our projects and just have a good time. If you are interested please let me know. If there is enough interest but in different locations I will consider doing a couple groups - central MA and eastern MA. Please note that do work full time so the meetings would have to be close to Worcester on weeknights or on weekends.

If you are looking for a great project to be part of, please check the Needs/Wish List page and Current Projects page for more information or Contact Us.  You do NOT have to be part of the "group" to participate in this project.

Have a great week!

Weekly Update - December 1, 2013

This week I would like to introduce Beth D as my new "Helper". She is helping with finding organizations that need our hats as well as making some deliveries. She is also a great crocheter :)

We have one new organization that needs our help rather urgently. They have 2 projects but we are focusing on the current need now and will work on the next project once this is delivered.

Please be sure to help us out by checking the Donations Guidelines page before sending in your donations.

I would like to take a moment to thank Bev Qualheim of Bev's Country Cottage Website for making Aunt Maggies Slippers the "Pattern of the Month" and suggesting Beth's Hats For Hope as the charity to make them for. Bev's has always been the "go-to" site for me whenever I need pattern inspiration and I know you will have great success there as well.
