It’s cold outside! Thanks to our friends at the Montante Group, we have more hats, scarves & gloves hanging on our Mitten Fence for people who need help staying warm. Have extras you’re no longer using? Donations of new or gently used cold-weather accessories are accepted & appreciated!

It’s been challenging to keep our Mitten Fence stocked in this cold weather so we really appreciate this latest donation of coats, hats & mittens! To everyone who has hung cold-weather accessories to share with those in need, thank you for your generosity!
