Hutchinson Aerospace & Industry, Inc. has many employees who volunteer their personal time for their community. Three of our employees on our Finance Team, Michelle, Debbie and Carol volunteer their time to coordinate and create crochet Octopuses for preemie infants in the NICU (Neonatal Intensive Care Unit) for Boston Children’s Hospital in Massachusetts. These cuddly colorful crocheted octopuses originated in Denmark and have shown in some babies improved breathing and more regular heartbeats.

There are free crocheted patterns available with specific yarn requirements for these octopi.

Please share this upcoming event for me.

Grief is often a lonely, isolating journey We have worked together with ACOM Perinatal Bereavement Committee to bring this event to Dothan for a 3rd year!

MILA Memorial Walk is to remember and raise awareness of the impact of miscarriage, stillbirth, & infant loss. Facilitating community connections among the bereaved, providing grief counseling resources, & simply a day to remember the lasting impact of love.
