Hats, Gloves/Mittens, and Socks Drive
Kiwanis Club of Linden is partnering with the Friends of Linden Library on a service project to benefit the Elizabeth Coalition to House the Homeless and St. Joseph’s Social Services. Both organizations are located in Elizabeth, but also provide services/programs for individuals and families in surrounding Union County communities including Linden. With winter upon us, there is a huge need for hats, gloves/mittens, and socks. We do hope that while you are out shopping, you can pick up a few items for those who are in need. This drive will run through February 28, 2024.
Donation bins are located at the Linden Free Public Library located at 31 E. Henry, Linden, NJ and Jersey Mike’s located at 683 W. Edgar Road, Store #5, Linden NJ. Please join the Kiwanis Club of Linden and the Friends of Linden Library in this community service project. Questions can be directed to Lois Bass, 908-296-5266 or June Lazaro, 908-930-8310.
