Norway church seeking warm mittens and hats for its outreach program

NORWAY — The Second Congregational Church is requesting help in expanding its “Mitten Mission.”
For more than 50 years, a small group of members and friends of the church have been providing Maine knit or crocheted mittens, hats and scarves for children in the Oxford Hills school district.
This year, the members are requesting the community’s help to expand the tradition. New store-bought, clean, gently used and hand-crafted mittens, scarves and hats of all sizes are needed and may be dropped off at the church office, 205 Main St.
During December, the mittens will decorate the Sanctuary-Mable Brown Christmas tree. Then in early January, mittens, hats and scarves will be given to the local preschools, elementary, middle and high school.
For more information, call the church office at 207-743-2290.
