The replacement clothesline & extra clothespins are up at the Mitten Fence at People's Park! If you have extra cold-weather accessories you’d like to donate, just bag them up (to keep them dry) & hang them on the fence. If you’d like to donate a large number of items, please message us.

In need of winter accessories? Stop by & take what you need to stay warm this winter! Please leave the clothesline & clothespins so we can keep the Mitten Fence going all winter. Thank you!
