Beginning Monday, December 2nd, Yellow Springs will have a Mitten Tree in the front hallway. Please take a mitten, fill it with a gift card from Wal-Mart, Giant, Weis, K-mart, a gas card or any other store that is easy to access in our area.

We have many families that can benefit from your generosity. Please help us make everyone’s Holiday special this year! All Mittens should be returned to Mrs. Johansen no later than Thursday December 12th so we can get them out to families before the holidays.
