Hats & Mittens partnered with wonderful organizations serving children and youth in the metro area for twenty five years! Our mission, starting in 1996, was to recognize and celebrate the work of small and emerging non-profits, while raising funds that would will be transformational for their organizations. Along with collecting and distributing thousands of warm hats and mittens over the years, winvested in wonderful community organizations serving children and youth in our community providing “venture capital” funding for them to grow in their capacity to carry out their mission. We couldn’t be more proud of these organizations and the impact they’ve had within our community.
