About
The Halton Hills Public Library, Cultural Services, the Sewing Cafe, a local business in Downtown Georgetown, and many compassionate community members have partnered together to create Hearts & Squares, a program aimed at creating blankets for the Out Of The Cold program operated out of Knox Presbyterian Church, as well as unhoused individuals across Halton Hills.
We need your help to make this passion project a possibility. Come to the Sewing Cafe to help us finish the blankets by attaching granny squares together. You'll learn some basic sewing skills, design some beautiful blankets, and give back to the community.
Stop by whenever you are available and help us Blanket the Town.

Halton Hills has long been recognized for its natural beauty, active agricultural community, high quality of life and proximity to major centres, including Brampton, Mississauga and Toronto. The Town is ranked as one of the top small communities in Canada by a national magazine.
