On Tuesday, August 19th the ladies of the Knit & Crochet Club at Little River Glen Senior Center in Fairfax, VA donated 170 hats to Ellie’s Hats! The ladies, who also make lap blankets and hats for veterans, have been only working on making these hats for just over two months. Michelle, the Assistant Director of the Wakefield Senior Center in Annandale, VA, served as liaison between the two senior centers and Ellie’s Hats. After seeing Ellie’s Hats on Fox 5 DC she started coordinating efforts between the Knit & Crochet Clubs at Wakefield Senior Center and Little River Glen Senior Center, and she hopes in the near future to work with other senior centers, all of which are a part of the Department of Neighborhood & Community Services, of the Fairfax County Government.
The ladies at Little River Glen Senior Center are very enthusiastic about making more hats and are very delighted that something they created with their hands will bring comfort and smiles to brave children.
