Hats & Mittens

Help Us PURCHASE 1,000 WATERPROOF GLOVES!  

Did you know that 27,500 hats and mittens were requested for the 2023-24 winter season?  The need for winter wear in our Twin Cities community continues to be strong... This year, we’ve already received requests for over 26,000 hat and mittens sets from 170 organizations and the winter season hasn't even hit Minnesota yet!

Please help us raise the money to purchase waterproof gloves for preschool and elementary aged kids within the community. Warm winter gloves provides so much more than just warmth... it give kids the chance to enjoy the outdoors, encouraging physical activity, creativity, social interaction and so much more! Did you know that a $10.00 donation will help us purchase 6 warm waterproof gloves?! A $40.00 donation will buy enough for an entire elementary classroom!

❤ WARM HANDS, WARM HEADS, WARM HEARTS! ❤

Our organization relies on both financial and physical donations to create our inventory to distribute hat and mitten sets across the Twin Cities and seven metro counties. However, the COVID-19 pandemic dramatically impacted our collections network. Hats & Mittens has fewer collection sites and receives fewer physical donations than previous years.  In order to keep up with the demand, we purchase hats and mittens at wholesale prices.  

Our founder, Rebecca Sundquist, said it best: "A hat and mitten is more than just a hat and mitten, it's about health, it's about warmth, it's about inclusion, it's about provision, and it’s about good mental health. It's important that our children get outside this winter, away from their screens, and enjoy this beautiful Minnesota winter."
