Donation Tree

Starting in December, the Outreach Committee will collect hats, scarfs, gloves, and socks to be delivered to The Water Street Mission. Donations will be used supply cold-weather clothing items to those in need, and we will decorate a “Donation Tree” for every item donated! 


When you make a donation, a corresponding decoration will be given to you to hang on the Donation Tree. For instance, when gloves are donated, a glove decoration will be hung on the tree. Let’s try to completely cover the tree! Coat donations are not requested at this time, but new or gently used winter coats will be appreciated and accepted.
