Are you feeling a little cold today? Need to buy a new pair of gloves? Consider getting an extra pair and donating them to someone in need. We’ll give you details on how and where to give.

Once again, we’ve put up our Giving Tree and are accepting donations at the library to keep our community warm this winter. As it gets colder outside, let’s come together and ensure that everyone can keep their fingers, toes, heads and noses warm.

Bring in your donations any time the library is open. New gloves, mittens, hats and scarves in any and every size are needed.  Last year, we accepted your donations through the end of February. Since cold weather lasts well past the holidays, we will do the same this year. All your donations will be given to individuals through Ravenna’s Center of Hope and The Haven of Portage County.

When you donate, bring your items to the Public Services desk. Our staff will take your donation and give you a mitten cutout. Write your name on the mitten and hang it on the Giving Tree. We hope to cover the tree with decorated mittens and fill the donation boxes with warm gifts.
Thank you for giving!
