16 Hats

The online community at Howard Empowered People (HEP) will be sending winter outerwear to the Cangleska Battered Women’s Shelter at the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation this holiday season.

The shelter has listed this as an “Urgent Need” at the Friends of Pine Ridge Reservation website, explaining that many women come to the shelter with nothing, and winters are cold in South Dakota, with average temperatures well below freezing.

The shelter is asking for the following items in new, gently used, or handmade condition:

- Winter Coats, Jackets, Hats, Gloves, Ear Warmers, Scarves, etc

- Any size, childrens, womens, or mens. For the babies to teenage boys who arrive with their mothers, and the mothers themselves

With all the suffering in the world, it’s hard to feel like you can make a difference. That’s why I love this HEP Corp Project. I’m sending 16 baby hats, 16 hats that my children wore…and I know that those 16 hats will warm the little heads of 16 babies that need them now.

If you can send winter items to the women and children at the Cangleska Battered Women’s Shelter, please post the number of items in the comments here, or email the number of items to me at jjem1999@yahoo.com. We will keep a running tally of donations at HEP.

Items should be sent directly to:

Via UPS or FedEx: Cangleska, Inc., 1 Public Safety Road, Kyle, SD, 57752

Via US Mail: Cangleska, Inc., P.O. Box 638, Kyle, SD, 57752
