What was once just a craft idea for senior citizens in South Ogden, has now turned into an annual tradition to give back to the community.
Last year, residents at Treeo Senior Living in South Ogden started a project called 'Hats for the Homeless', where they made winter hats themselves to donate to the unsheltered during the colder months.In the past year, residents have been hard at work once again."I've lost count, last year, I know I made about 85 before the end of the year," said Cooper."If I'm not doing anything I can in a day and a half, I can make one in my spare time," said Cooper.
Those who helped make the hats and even others who just wanted to show their support jumped aboard the van to help give them out to those in need."For them to be able to go out and see their work and see it appreciated, It is a big thing," said Summers."The fact that the hats are so colorful and joyful and that you can see them out in the community, It does make you feel warm and fuzzy.
