Members of Holy Family Knights of Columbus Council 10019 of Lewiston on Dec. 10 sponsored a new “Hats for Cancer” project to help cancer patients at St. Mary’s Hospital in Lewiston.

Because of the coronavirus, the supply of hats for patients ran out, so members purchased 16-dozen knitted beanie hats and donated them to the cancer department at the hospital.

The staff at St. Mary’s were appreciative, and told of how patients going through chemotherapy lose their hair and are helped by beanie hats to get through it, according to a news release.
