An effort by a UW campus group is helping a group of people that probably didn’t expect it. “Love Your Melon” is selling hats–for each one purchased, another hat went to a child with cancer. Through the program, some area police officers are helping those kids and other needy people in the community.
At least for today, officers Jessica McLay and Emily Samson are fashion experts. They’re handing out these knitted hats, to the city’s homeless.
“Not only did we get to help a child at UW but we got to help UW Madison Love Your Melon crew, someone in the community who needs some help staying warm,” said officer Samson.
