An Epic Journey
Well,
we have been very busy since early January making and collecting
winter hats for the less fortunate. Presently, we are just over 1,500
fans on our Facebook
page. https://www.facebook.com/EmilysHatsForHopeInitiative We
have had great success reaching out to people for help through social
media. People from as far away as England and Iceland have sent us
hats!
On July 27th Emily was interviewed on WNBC in NYC regarding
Emily's Hats For Hope
Initiative. http://www.nbcnewyork.com/video/#!/on-air/as-seen-on/Emilys-Hats-For-Hope/164095756 Since
January, Emily has made and collected 2,000 winter hats! She has
donated 600 to several NJ based outreach organizations, including
soup kitchens in Morristown & Dover, the Father English Community
Center in Paterson, the InterFaith Food Pantry in Morris Plains, &
Trinity Church in Asbury Park. Another 200 hats were brought to
Elmira, NY where they will be distributed in that area. This Dec.
1,000 hats will be distributed to community centers in the Appalachia
region in KY, one of our nation’s most impoverished areas. 200 hats
remain in storage and will be distributed this fall to the homeless
and working poor in NJ.
Several members of our Facebook group have started their own Chapters of Emily's Hats For Hope Initiative! We have Chapters in PA, WA, KY, ME, IA and OK. VT and TX might be just around the corner as well. Emily's long term goal is to have a Chapter in every state.
Emily
has received letters of recognition from NJ Assemblyman Anthony M.
Bucco & NJ Governor Chris Christie.
