Volunteer
Become a Madhatter by knitting 50 hats each year. If you are local, upon request, you can make the donation together with our team and arrange a tour with the NICU. The gift of giving and seeing for yourself how you've touched and helped the life of a preemie and their family gives you an enormous sense of satisfaction. Invite new members to join Madhatter Knits as the more volunteer we can acquire, the more hats we can donate to make a difference to even more families.
