More Holiday Deliveries

Last night, Dec. 15, 2015, Peggy delivered 10 beanies to the Youth Homes After Care Youth at their Christmas Party, (last two pictures)  One girl had such a tough time deciding which hat to take that she asked if she could keep both..a huge compliment to Melanie! The youth were very grateful for the donation.

 Peggy and Melanie delivered 31 loomed hats (mostly made by Melanie) on Dec. 16th  to two Youth Homes Residential facilities plus gave 7 beanies to the ladies in charge of the kids living in foster families (1st picture below).  They were all thrilled with their gifts and even the staff members wanted to keep one for themselves too!

Christmas Hat/Chanukah Hat Delivery

On Dec. 7th, just in time for the beginning of Chanukah, Peggy delivered 3 Chanukah themed hats and 15 Christmas hats to Kaiser maternity, Walnut Creek.  The nurses were elated and promised to save the Christmas hats for Dec. 24th and 25th.  They are always so grateful for our donations since we are the only group that  knits for them. We know that the babies will feel so festive in the beanies we knitted for them.

Peggy delivered 35 baby hats to Kaiser Maternity on 10/30/15, just in time for the Halloween babies.  Ten of the hats were Halloween themed and the rest were mixed.  The nurses were super appreciative of the donation and commented how kind it was for all of us to knit/loom hats for the babies.
