🧤🎄 It’s National Mitten Tree Day! 🎄🧤

Today, we’re celebrating the warmth of hands and hearts by decorating our very own Mitten Tree! Every mitten added to our tree isn’t just a decoration; it’s a symbol of love, kindness, and the joy of giving during the chilly winter months.

Everyone is invited to help “warm up” the season by contributing mittens, gloves, or hats to our giving tree. These items will be donated to local shelters and families in need.

Let’s come together, spread warmth, and turn our community tree into a tower of compassion. ❄️💙

This month’s theme, “All Aboard the Charter Express,” 🚂 ushers in winter as a ribboned scene where every carriage hums with possibility.

Through inter-generational programming, residents, families, and local youth come together to share, create, and discover, crafting keepsakes side by side, swapping stories that sparkle like holiday lights, and capturing moments that bridge the past and future.

Step off with pockets full of snow-kissed wonder, ready to thread these moments into daily life, and may the warmth you found aboard travel with you, lighting the way for others.

✨ For information on upcoming programs, please see your Community Life Engagement Director. 💫
