Donations sought for Tree of Warmth

From the Connecticut Post:

The eighth annual Tree of Warmth is on display at Town Hall in New Milford.

Donations of children's hats, gloves, mittens and scarves are sought; the items will be hung on the tree by Mayor Pat Murphy's staff.

Goods will later be distributed to local families in need through the Social Services Department.

Donations may be dropped off at the mayor's office Mondays through Fridays from 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m.

In addition, monetary donations are sought for the Community Fuel Bank of New Milford, which assists low- and fixed-income families and seniors in the community.

The assistance provides emergency fuel delivery or continued electric service to safely keep their homes warm during the cold winter months.

Donations may be acknowledged with a name on an ornament to be placed on the tree.

Checks may be made payable to the Community Fuel Bank of New Milford and dropped off at the mayor's office.
