Share the Warmth
October 17 through November 14
Seeking new hats, mittens, gloves, scarves & socks for adults and children
The Alliance is collaborating again with Gather, the community nonprofit fighting hunger in the Seacoast, to provide the gift of warmth to food insecure families. With inflation and the rise in household expenses, we anticipate that this year's need may exceed last year.
​
We are collecting donations of new hats, mittens, gloves, scarves, and socks for adults and children. The items most needed are warm gloves and mittens for adults.
​
Here are three ways to give:
-
Purchase (or handcraft) items and drop them off at the designated collection site.
-
Order items using the Amazon Wish List to have the merchandise shipped directly to the Alliance for Greater Good.
