Little Hats, Big Hearts

Save to Favorites

As some of you may know, last year we started the Little Hats, Big Hearts program in Milwaukee. Volunteers from around the country are joining the American Heart Association, in connection with The Children’s Heart Foundation, to celebrate American Heart Month by knitting and crocheting red hats for babies born in February at participating hospitals. Little Hats, Big Hearts honors babies, moms, and heart healthy lives in a very special way. Supporters are knitting and crocheting red hats to be given out to thousands of babies during American Heart Month in order to empower moms to live heart healthy lives and to help their children do the same.

Together, we are working to raise awareness, provide resources and inspire moms to take their family’s heart health to heart while also raising awareness about Congenital Heart Defects.

So how can we use your help? Anytime during the months of November, December, January and February, we will need help to count, wash, and package hats. In addition, we will also need help sending thank you letters to those who sent in hats. The great news is that this can be done any day, any time during our standard hours - so you can choose whatever hours work best for your schedule!
