Cathedral Center collecting gloves for area homeless residents

The Cathedral Center will collect mittens and gloves for Milwaukee’s homeless residents through its inaugural “Warm Hearts, Warm Hands” campaign.

 

The drive will run from Thursday, Nov. 20, through Sunday, Dec. 28. Drop-off sites throughout downtown Milwaukee will accept new and gently used mittens and gloves.

The center also plans to collect monetary donations toward the purchase of winter wear. To make a donation, visit www.cathedral-center.org. Donations can also be sent to the center at 845 N. Van Buren St., Milwaukee, 53202.

“Winter is a difficult time of year for the roughly 1,500 homeless in our city, many of which are women and families with children,” said Donna Rongholt-Migan, executive director of The Cathedral Center. “Something as simple as a warm pair of mittens can provide welcome relief for families in need.”
