Hoodies from Heaven (HFH) is an apostolate of Saint Vincent de Paul Knights of Columbus Council #12191 that was formed in April 2024 to specifically minister to school-aged children in Morgan County public schools who are in need of warm seasonal clothing.
While working as an aide in the Morgan County public schools, a council member, with the help of school counselors and teachers, identified a need: children are allowed to wear coats to school, but are not allowed to wear coats during classes within the school due to safety and security concerns. Not all children are able to keep themselves warm without a coat while in school during the colder months because they lack a proper sweater or "hoodie" (a hooded sweatshirt). Because God is providential through the generosity of faithful Christians, Hoodies from Heaven was born. |
