Since its inception in 2004, H.A.T.S has been providing fleece hats for underprivileged or uncared for youth nationally and internationally. The organization particularly values its youth volunteers and aims to inspire and facilitate acts of service in America’s young adults while encouraged all volunteers to build personal relationships despite difference. Our hope is that the nature of this service-learning project will inspire young adults to recognize their talents and use them positively.
Hats have been sent multiple times to Romania through a yearly service trip conducted by Derryfield’s Jo Davidson. Paired with gloves from an outside donation, the hats were sent to villages that were in extreme need.
