OSEAN has been gathering lone mittens all winter (learn more here). On May 31, we will sort through the collection to create pairs to be distributed through community groups next fall. Many groups faced a shortage of mittens for their clients last year.

Volunteers needed

Join us to become a mitten matchmaker! Come for the morning shift (10 am to 12 pm) or/and for the afternoon shift (1 pm to 3 pm). Feel free to contact us by email or Facebook to let us know you’ll be coming or ask a question.

What the day looks like:

☕ There will be coffee and snacks. 

🧒 Children are welcome! There will be a play area for younger children. Older children (i.e. teenagers looking for community service hours) are welcome to help with the sorting.

Still collecting…

Feel free to drop by to drop off lone mittens or other winter items in good condition (hats, jackets, boots).
We are also looking for elastic bands of various sizes, as well as moving boxes.
