When you’re out and about shopping on Black Friday, please extend your giving beyond your family. Please buy a gift for a needy child in Gasport.
The Mitten Tree is back this year and it will be dedicated on November 30th at 10:00 AM. This is the fourth year for this awesome program that is run by Absolut Care, the Gasport Lions Club and the Roy-Hart Schools.
Here’s how it works…
The tree will be located at the corner of Main Street and Route 31.
Take a mitten from it and give a gift that is appropriate to the age/gender of the child noted on the mitten.
Attach the mitten to the unwrapped gift and drop it off by December 15th at Absolut Care or the Elementary School. The Lions Club will distribute the gifts in time for the holidays.
It’s extremely important that the community supports the Mitten Tree. Last year, very few people did and with 4 days left before the deadline there were nearly 100 mittens left on the tree. Luckily, Andy Drum saved the day. He pulled off an amazing feat and over those few days he and his friends & family used a Drum Oil donation to buy gifts for the mittens that remained.
This year, we need everyone in the community to be heroes. Please participate and make Christmas a little better for a child – maybe even your neighbor – who is in need. That’s what the holiday is all about.
