WESTconsin Credit Union is wrapping others in warmth this holiday season with its 14th annual The Mitten Tree campaign. All WESTconsin offices will be collecting winter weather apparel items November 12–27 that will be used to decorate a tree in each lobby and be donated to a variety of community partners across the credit union’s service area. In 2023, more than 2,500 items were collected, along with $2,620 raised in monetary support.
To help those in need prepare for winter, acceptable items include new or handmade mittens, gloves, hats, scarves, earmuffs, coats, boots, and blankets and must be suitable for all age groups. Monetary donations will also be accepted at all WESTconsin offices or over the phone. Local distribution of donated items will take place prior to the holidays.
