<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: #9fc5e8; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial;">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. <a href="https://www.facebook.com/EmilysHatsForHopeInitiative">https://www.facebook.com/EmilysHatsForHopeInitiative</a> 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! </span></span></span></div>

<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: #9fc5e8; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial;">On July 27th Emily was interviewed on WNBC in NYC regarding
Emily's Hats For Hope
Initiative. <a href="http://www.nbcnewyork.com/video/#!/on-air/as-seen-on/Emilys-Hats-For-Hope/164095756">http://www.nbcnewyork.com/video/#!/on-air/as-seen-on/Emilys-Hats-For-Hope/164095756</a> 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.</span></span></span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: #eeeeee;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: purple;">Today we received hats from England and hats from Pennsylvania. We also received an email from the local food pantry asking if we could supply them with 25 adult hats and 25 kid size hats. Now, we are frantically searching stores for kid size hat looms! Hopefully, we will have at least one by the end of tonight so we can get started on the kid hats!</span> </span><br />

Emily, (18), from NJ, has been making a difference in the world, one hat at a time.<br /> <br />
In December 2011, Emily, who was just 17 at the time, realized she
could help the homeless & working poor in her community by knitting
warm winter hats for them. On December 27, 2011 Emily’s Hats For Hope
Initiative was born.<br /> <br /> Emily's Hats For Hope Initiative has donated winter items to several NJ based outreach o<span class="text_exposed_show">rganizations,
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. Hats were brought to
Elmira, NY, and to the Second Congregational Church in Jeffersonville,
Vermont. Hats were sent to the Jersey Shore for people drastically
affected by Superstorm Sandy. We were asked by the organization “From
Houses To Homes-Guatemala” to supply hats to women and children in
Guatemala. We delivered hats, scarves, afghans, canned food, toiletries,
etc to the residents of “Tent City” in Lakewood, NJ. We have donated
hats to the Jersey Battered Women’s Shelter and New Alternatives in NYC,
an organization that helps homeless LGBT teens and young adults. Hats
were also brought to Appalachia in Kentucky, one of our nation's most
impoverished regions.<br /> <br /> Over two dozen members of Emily’s
Facebook group have created independent “spin-offs” of Emily’s Hats For
Hope Initiative in their home states of (2 in CA), FL, IA, (2 in IL),
IN, KS, KY, MA, ME, MI, MO, NC, NE, NH, (2 in NJ), NY, OH, OK, PA, TN,
(2 in VA) , WA and in Canada, Denmark and Australia. We also have
independent spin-offs in Atlantic County & Ocean County, NJ for
people to donate warm winter items for Hurricane Sandy relief. Emily’s
long- term goal is to have a spin-off in every state & on every
continent.<br /> <br /> Emily started a Facebook group, which now has
over 3,500 members. Many have sent hats, scarves, afghans & yarn to
us as donations. She has received winter hats from as far away as
Canada, Iceland, Ireland & England. It is phenomenal how much
support her initiative has received from around the world!<br /> <br />
Emily has received letters of recognition from NJ Assemblyman Anthony M.
Bucco, NJ Governor Chris Christie and Congressman Rodney Frelinghuysen.
She was interviewed by Roseanne Colletti at NBC Studios in NYC on the
Evening Nightly News With Chuck Scarborough in July 2012 and has been
interviewed by The Daily Record, The Morris Newsbee, Morristown Patch,
Parsippany Patch and The Star Ledger (NJ newspapers).<br /> <br /> Please join Emily as she continues towards her goal of 5,000 winter hats by April 2013.<br /> <br /> You can send winter hats, scarves, gloves, mittens, yarn (NO ANGORA PLEASE), blankets, afghans to:<br /> <br /> Emily’s Hats For Hope Initiative <br /> PO Box 2374 <br /> Morristown, NJ 07962-2374<br /> <br />
<span style="color: purple;"><i>(If you live in NJ and want to save on shipping charges, you can drop
off your donated items at either Trillium Yarns, 1007 Mt Kemble Ave
Morristown, NJ or The Shops at 14 Pine Street, 14 Pine St., Morristown,
NJ.)</i></span><br /> </span><span class="text_exposed_show"> <span style="color: #cc0000;">Emily’s Hats For Hope Initiative.
