Care Cap Connections in Need of Donations

 For three years, volunteers in four states have sewn 20,000 “care caps” as gifts to cancer patients. Had they been sold, the retail = $700,000.
We operated on small donations and pinched our pennies.  Now, we need help:  $7500 to replace sewing machines heavily worn by hundreds of hands and the bounce of thousands of miles.

Care Cap Connections is an IRS-approved charity 501(c)(3), registered in Arkansas as Volunteer America—1776.  Tax-deductible gifts can be sent to 103 Tanglewood Circle, Fairfield Bay AR 72088.

 We ship coast-to-coast to the American Cancer Society, Mayo Clinic, M.D. Anderson, St. Jude, Ronald McDonald Houses, UAMS, Baptist Health, St. Vincent Health, Universities: Florida, Iowa, Michigan, Washington, Ozark Health, Desoto Regional, Christus Health, Vanderbilt-Ingram, Veterans Administration and the United States Air Force Wilford Hall Medical Center.  Also, to individuals along life’s way, families and friends.
