What we aim to solve
Our programs
What are the organization's current programs, how do they measure success, and who do the programs serve?
Hugs and Kisses
There are so many all around us who, during the colder months each year, struggle to find basic warmth. Hugs and Kisses aims to utilize the craftiness of knitters and crochet-ers to make scarves (hugs) and hats (kisses) to share warmth with those in need.
