When you’re out and about shopping for Christmas, please extend your
giving beyond your family. Please buy a gift for a needy child in
Gasport.
The Mitten Tree is back this year.
This is the seventh year for this awesome program that is run by the Gasport Lions Club. The official kickoff is this Tuesday at 10:00 AM when Roy-Hart Elementary School students will carol and decorate the tree.
Here’s how it works…
The tree will be located out front of the Gasport post office 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 at Absolut Care or Drum Oil (they have drop boxes) or at the Elementary School (under the tree in the lobby). The Lions Club will distribute the gifts in time for the holidays.
It’s extremely important that the community supports the Mitten Tree. The economy is still a mess, unemployment is still high, and we need folks to help those who are struggling. 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.
