Griffin Hospital in Derby collecting gloves, mittens for local children

Help keep little hands warm this winter

DERBY - The Safe Kids Greater Naugatuck Valley Coalition in Griffin’s Community Outreach & Parish Nurse Department is looking for help in collecting new pairs of gloves and mittens for 500 children in Headstart, local school readiness, and day care programs as part of its winter safety children's program.

Pairs of new children's gloves (ages 3-7) are being collected on a holiday tree in Griffin Hospital dining room, 130 Division St.

The drive ends Dec. 30 and donations will be given to every child participating in the program during the first two weeks of January.

Keeping Little Hands Warm this Winter

A warm and cozy thank you to all the Griffin Health caregivers and members of our community for their support of this year's Griffin Health Community Outreach and SafeKids Greater Naugatuck Valley Gloves & Mittens Drive.

More than 200 pairs of gloves and mittens were collected at Griffin Hospital in December.

They were distributed throughout the Valley this month, including at the TEAM Inc. HeadStart program where children used their new gloves to play Winter Safety BINGO recently.
