Volunteers are selling cozy red hats in Market Square, McAllister Place, and Brunswick Square tomorrow in support of the Saint John Youth House. The housing facility for homeless youth will open next year.
Coordinator Colin MacDonald tells CHSJ News the community has really gotten behind the fundraiser this year, and that 350 hats have already been sold. The goal is to sell the remaining 450 hats by the end of the day tomorrow.
Hats are selling for $10, with 80 percent of the proceeds going toward the Saint John Youth House. The other 20% goes to Raising the Roof, a national homelessness charity.
