New Hats & Mittens Sought for Local Families
The Alliance for Greater Good is collecting new hats, mittens, gloves, and scarves for families receiving Thanksgiving meals at Gather’s annual holiday distribution event.
New hats and mittens sought for local families
The Alliance for Greater Good is once again collaborating with Gather, the community nonprofit fighting hunger in the Seacoast, to collect new adult’s and children’s hats, mittens, gloves, and scarves. Alliance volunteers will pass out the collected items to the families receiving Thanksgiving meals at Gather’s annual holiday distribution event.
“Last year, the community's response was amazing, as the Alliance collected over 1,700 items. With the rise in heating costs and other household expenses, we anticipate that this year's needs will surpass last year.” - Lisa Vivinetto, Alliance Cofounder & Vice President
