Winter is very hard on the homeless that roam the streets by day
and desperately try to keep warm by night. Their plight is especially
tough during the Holiday season when they are so alone with no family,
no Thanksgiving feast, no warm Christmas cheer from friends, no
gifts under a Christmas tree. Many only have faint childhood memories
to fill their souls.
Hats for the Homeless grew out of the heart of one young man who
cared about those less fortunate. He died suddenly in 1998. Hats
for the Homeless was created in his memory to continue the tradition
he started.
This site was created in loving
memory of John Carroll
