H.A.T.S.

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.

Four industrial sized bolts of Polartec® fleece were picked up in Lawrence, MA on July 1st, 2010. These brightly colored bolts will replenish our quickly diminishing fleece supply and provide quality material for our hats.

Since 2007, Polartec LLC has been our main source of fleece, and without their generous donations H.A.T.S. would not be able to be a self-sustaining organization. We are extremely grateful to Jim Zeiba (pictured above) for coordinating this donation and for believing in the mission of H.A.T.S.
