We dropped off 62 hats at Minnesota Oncology in Minneapolis (across from Abbott Northwestern) on Monday morning, March 28, 2016.
As Amy and I set hats on the mannequins and in the baskets in their resource area, the couple near us struck up a conversation. She was getting a treatment, and he had a book in hand.
They asked us who we were with, and Amy explained a bit about Team Yarn. “A lot of people like to make stuff and they don’t know what to do with it,” she remarked. Team Yarn happily collects the beautiful items made, and distributes them throughout the Twin Cities area at local hospitals, clinics and resource centers.
“What you’re doing is a great thing,” said the woman being treated for cancer.
