Thanks for the mittens

Thanks for the mittens

To the Editor:

The 2019 Mitten Tree at the Swarthmore Public Library was able to raise a large amount of money ($182) to buy warm clothing for CityTeam Ministries in Chester! Equally important were the contributions of blankets, scarves, mittens, gloves, hats, socks, and sweaters which were collected and also donated to CityTeam.

Many thanks, in particular, go to librarian Carol Mackin and other staff members and volunteers at the Swarthmore Public Library. Of course, the Mitten Tree would not have been successful all of these years without its generous donors. I send much appreciation and gratitude to all of you as well!

Sincerely,
