Merry Mittens

Stuff We Love
Dec. 2, 2023

The Mitten Real Estate Group of Traverse City is helping make the season bright by kicking off their first Mitten Drive, which runs now through Dec. 22. The drive is a community-focused initiative aimed at collecting new mittens, gloves, hats, and warm winter clothing to support Traverse City Area Public Schools (TCAPS) students and their families during the upcoming winter season. (Important note: Unlike other winter gear drives, the Mitten Drive requests that all donated items be new and unworn—no used items!) In addition to the Mitten Real Estate Group’s office on Front Street, several local TC businesses are acting as drop sites for the drive, including Animal Medical Center, Arch Mortgage, Bayview Flooring, Blue Goat Wine & Provisions, Golden Fowler Home Furnishings, Max’s Service, and Oleson’s Food Stores. Learn more about donation guidelines and the drive by visiting themittendrive.com.
