Mitten Tree & Food Bank
The mitten tree in the lobby is again filling with bright donations of mittens and gloves, scarves, socks, hats, and winter coats for children. This tradition has provided winter clothing for hundreds of children. Items can be bought or handmade, but all should be new and unused.
In addition to accepting new winter clothing items, we also accept donations of nonperishable food to be given to local food banks and shelters. Suggested items are ramen noodles, macaroni, and cheese, pasta, spaghetti sauce, cereal, canned meats, chili, soup, and vegetables. Staples are always needed: small bags of sugar and flour, beans, rice, canned milk or other shelf-stable milk, pancake mix, syrup, peanut butter, jelly, tea, coffee, and hot chocolate.
Be sure to check the expiration dates of all food items. Food banks cannot give out items that have expired.
