Local knitting group supplied mittens, hats, gloves and scarves for 2016 mitten tree drive at MVSB Laconia office.
With colder weather moving in and the holidays fast approaching, Meredith Village Savings Bank (MVSB) and Merrimack County Savings Bank (the Merrimack) will be collecting mittens, hats, gloves and scarves for its annual Mitten Tree drives. A donation of $2 for every item collected through December 16th will be awarded to the NH Food Bank, and earmarked for the local communities in which the donation was made.
New handmade or store-bought mittens, hats, gloves and scarves can be dropped off at any of the local offices between Thanksgiving and December 16th. Non-profits who are in need of mittens, hats, gloves and scarves should contact the MVSB and Merrimack office closest to them. A complete list of offices and hours is available at mvsb.com and themerrimack.com.
“The Mitten Tree is a holiday tradition we are proud to uphold each year,” said Philip Emma, President of the Merrimack. “It’s an honor to support the NH Food Bank, who help so many families in our communities, especially during these cold winter months,” added Rick Wyman, President of MVSB.
