Community Collection Locations
Our 13th Season of Warmth is happening NOW through January 10th! We are so excited to see our Community Collection Partners hosting their collection boxes so that you can donate new, warm, durable mittens and gloves so easily! Find a location near you using the map below!
If you are wondering what kinds of mittens and gloves are the most beneficial to those in need, please take a few minutes to watch our video – A Hands On Guide for Choosing Mittens. Remember, the quality of the pairs you choose are more important than the quantity. Think about the pair of mittens or gloves that you are giving as a true gift of warmth – are they warm enough to keep the cold air out and warmth in? Would you give this pair to someone you care about? Is the pair durable enough to last? You don’t have to spend a lot on a pair of new mittens and gloves to share a pair that is just what someone needs.
Questions?
If you would like to shop at stores or online for the kind of pairs that we purchase with your financial donations and grants, you will find that Target and Sierra Outfitters offer great options. Another option is to choose pairs that you’ll find on our AmazonSmile Charity Wish List – http://bit.ly/AmazonSmile_MFDCharityList.
