300 Baby Hats and....

Since we started this hat making project in June, we are in the neighborhood of 400 hats being donated.  There are hats being dropped off every day in our collection bins at the College of San Mateo Library and the San Mateo Athletic Club at College of San Mateo.

We cannot begin to thank everyone who has helped with this project so far.

We have collected 300 baby hats.  These pictures are of 142 baby hats washed and packaged for delivery to the UCSF Benioff Children's Hospitals next weekend.  All 300 hats will be delivered next weekend.
