Holston Mountain Hat Project was founded in 2005 as a small craft business featuring handmade hats & accessories for sale and donation. The “Project” in the business name refers to the donations to groups & organizations that provide services for those in need of hats. Our intent, which has indeed been realized, was to make at least one hat every day for a stranger. After more than 20 years of hat making, we have donated thousands of hats to several organizations, usually in the towns/areas where I set up shop as a vendor at a Music Festival, Holiday Market, Art/Craft Fair or other Special Event. The organizations I have been honored to donate hats to include but are not limited to:
* Local Red Cross Chapters for Disaster Kits.
* Groups that provide support & services to those with hair loss due to medical treatment or injury.
* Homeless & Domestic Abuse Shelters.
*US Military Personnel stationed in cold regions around the globe.
*Orphanages in Northern Asia/Mongolia.
*Hospital NICU Units.
