In community discussions on the Cedar Riverside Neighbors Forum -
http://e-democracy.org/cr , we've identified a particular need for
mittens for small children. Mittens that fit small hands and stay-on.
 
We are putting our a call for hand-knit mittens, used store bought
mittens, gloves, etc.
 
Matching pairs in all sizes in good condition accepted - including adults.
 
Please using masking tape or clips to connect a matching pair together.
 
For the week of Dec 13 - Dec 20, we have two drop off locations (as of today):
 
* Welna II Hardware - 2201 E. Franklin Avenue - Map: http://bit.ly/i47lSj
Hours: M-Th 8am-7pm * F 8am-6pm * Sa 9am-5pm * Su 10am-5pm
 
* Brian Coyle Community Center - 420 15th Avenue S. - Map:
http://bit.ly/fAJDUF
Hours: M–F 8am-8pm * Sa 10am-5pm * Closed Sunday
 
The Riverside Plaza Tenants' Association will help with distribution.
 
As a father of a three year-old and five year-old, I know how
difficult it is to find mittens or gloves that actually fit young
children or are easy for adults to get on their wiggly hands.
 
For the latest on this spontaneous mitten drive, please see the recent

The distribution by the youth groups is happening Wed. afternoon at Coyle.
 
I figure this call for mittens and their efforts on the ground are all toward
the same goal, so I am bringing my bag of winter gear in right now. I encourage
you to do the same.
