Warmth for Warriors

31,600+ HATS DISTRIBUTED AS OF May 23, 2013!

Warm wool hats and smiling soldiers!

A Note from a Soldier: "I just wanted to say thank you! What a great surprise to have received the Hats the other day. I came back from a mission dirty, hungry, & tired; you brought a great smile to all of our faces. I think most of my Soldiers slept with your hats on the same day/night. God Bless You All, thank you for what you do." SFC K. F.

Join Our HATS FOR TROOPS Project and Make a Difference!

We are always looking for more help! We are knitting and crocheting homemade hats to comfort our soldiers, both active duty and retired. We distribute hats all year long to active duty soldiers overseas, to medical units where the sick and wounded are prepared to leave for hospitals in Germany and to VA hospitals back home in the United States. A warm wool hat, made with love, provides both physical comfort and a "Hug of Thanks".
