The FCC Knitting Group would like to extend a heartfelt thank you to everyone who knitted hats, purchased hats, donated yarn, and supported this project in so many ways. Together, we knitted over 40 hats and were able to raise about $1,000 for Casa de Paz Colorado, an organization that supports immigrants and works to help keep families together during detention and immigration transitions. We are deeply grateful for the generosity, compassion, and community spirit that made this effort possible.
