Hats for the Holidays !
While you are planning your Christmas gift list, please consider donating new or handmade hats for adults and children who are undergoing chemotherapy at Ventura County Medical Center. Side effects of chemotherapy include hair loss and feeling cold. Your gift of a new hat will help make the season warm and bright. Because many patients are immunodeficient, please donate only new or handmade items. Please, no baseball caps as they tend to scratch tender skin. Donations will be accepted at the Ventura County Fairgrounds until Friday, December 13.
Thank you!
Please Give to 4-H on Giving Tuesday, 12/3
Thanks to a generous gift from the California 4-H Foundation, the first donations to come in for 4-H will be matched up to $25,000!
