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.
