Teens Donate to Mission Hospital
A group of six girls from Laguna Niguel and San Juan Capistrano learn to knit beanies for newborns at Mission Hospital.
Mission Hospital recently received a special donation of 67 tiny beanies for newborns to wear as they take their first big ride home from the hospital.
A junior at Dana Hills High School, Adrienne Taylor is the Class President of The Church of Latter Day Saints Young Women’s service group who made the beanies.
“We loved doing this project because we knew that each hat we knitted would help keep a little newborn warm,” says Taylor.
