HOW THE MINISTRY BEGAN

2014- 2015 - This ministry began in Arizona by Ren who is a Christian. Her husband Mike ended up going through four (4) operations and ended up in I.C.U. Afterwards he went to a Medical Rehab/Nursing Home for almost a year.
They lost their home & she lost her job. They continue to minister, and she was still crocheting and freely giving her handmade items to others in the rehab/nursing home. While her husband was learning to walk, again.

She ended up in I.C.U. receiving treatment. And then went to a medical rehab for physical, occupational and speech therapy. She was diagnosed with CIDP.
2021, Since she is left-handed, she couldn't use a hook. She ended up teaching herself to crochet, again. She made her first hat and was led to start Hats For The Homeless OK.
Since the launching of this ministry, it has grown over the years. The volunteers are blessed to be able to donate hats, scarfs, gloves, sweaters, afghans, and many other items to reach out to the homeless, those in recovery, veterans, chemo patients, elderly, infants, children, & shelters.
