Snowpants and Winter boots

Our elementary school, Hidden Valley Elementary in Savage is seeing a great need for snowpants and winter boots for some of our students. Our families are hard working and despite this 75% of our families still live underneath the poverty line. This makes accessing additional clothing items like snowpants and boots an added expense that does not fit in many budgets, especially with inflation right now. Students who do not have snowpants and boots are unable to access snow play and our playground (for risk of getting all wet, uncomfortable, sick, etc.). We are in need of small sizes: small 5- 10/12 at this time Boot sizes child 13- Youth 6

Donations of Yarn

We have a lovely member of our community that makes the kids at our elementary school knitted hats every year. Because of the generosity, we are able to provide every student with a hand knitted hat. It has become a beautiful tradition that the students love. The individual who spends their time knitting the hats loves to do it AND it is quite the financial undertaking to make 500+ hats out of yarn. Curious if anyone has access to or a willingness to help support this endeavor either with extra yarn or financially and I can connect you!
