When Veterans Park Brownie Troop 50090 learned that not all homeless people are adults, and that kids also struggle to stay warm on the streets without homes to shelter them, they set about making winter hats for children. Given the spirit of the season and the cold nights setting in, the troop worked to provide the New Jersey organization “Hats 4 the Homeless” colorful fleece hats for distribution at St. Francis Xavier’s Soup Kitchen in New York City. Modeling hats that they fashioned for themselves are (front row, from left): Madison Mueller, Bryn Grant, Sloane Fleming, Gabrielle Genna, Lia Giusio, Malina Maxham, Stephanie Bissing, Grace Teperzer; (rear row, from left): Heidi Atkins, Katherine Petrillo, Annabel Earle-Hecht, Luisa Simon, Emma Costello, Caroline Kelly, Lizzie Kuhn, Maxine Lynch, Savannah Reyes, and Sophia Farenga (missing: Kit Lasberg, Charlotte Bowler and Caroline McClellan).—Scot Lynch photo
