MVSB branch office locations are collecting donations of new mittens, hats, gloves and scarves for their annual Mitten Tree drive through New Year’s Eve.
We will continue our more than four-decade tradition of collecting donations of new mittens, hats, gloves and scarves for our annual Mitten Tree drive through New Year’s Eve. All donated items will be distributed to local schools and nonprofits. We will also match each item donation with $2 to local organizations addressing childhood food insufficiency.
New handmade or store-bought cold-weather accessories can be donated at any MVSB branch location. A complete list of offices and hours are available at mvsb.com/locations.
“The annual Mitten Tree drive is a simple yet impactful way community members can help give back to those in need throughout the winter season,” said Stacy Trites, Senior Vice President, Senior Retail Banking Officer. “We are truly grateful to everyone for stepping up each year to warm hands and hearts with their donations – and to the MVSB employees who ensure the items end up where they are needed most in their communities.”
