Volunteers
A volunteer donates their time, knowledge, and creativity.
Caps can be made by a volunteer who wants to work on their own time to create caps at their own pace, or by a volunteer who makes caps as a member of a group, such as a church, senior center, or club.
Or, a volunteer can help to make Happy Caps work overall, such as doing hat sorting and packing, tagging, volunteer recruitment, donor outreach, cap pick-ups, technical support or delivery.
See Happy Cap requirements and sizing guidelines below!
Be Creative and Stylish
Each Happy Cap must be handmade - knitted, crocheted, loomed, or sewn. Requirements:
- All must be handmade: crocheted, knitted, sewn or loomed.
- Do not choose patterns that create holes - our patients prefer coverage.
- Each must be new and unworn.
- They must be made of washable fibers and fabrics. Do not use wool at all!
- Use colors and styles that you like...if you like it someone else will like it!
- All Happy Caps MUST be made with SOFT yarns and fabrics. Many patients, especially those who lose their hair due to chemotherapy, have a very sensitive scalp.
- Appliqués or flowers, etc. must be sewn on.
- We prefer seamless caps for a smooth, comfortable feel.
- Hats must be smoke-free, odor-free, and pet hair-free.
- See size requirements below.
- Hats that do not meet requirements are donated to other causes.
