For 35 Years, the ACC Congregation has Contributed Gifts to Families in Need
Our 2023 Mitten Tree program is well underway! In its 35th year, this tradition connects generous members of the Congregation with those in need. Each person receiving your gift very much appreciates your thoughtfulness, time, generosity, and prayers for this ministry and the recipients.
This year, there are three separate sign-ups available for each of the coordinating organizations.
Red Mittens are for gifts for children being served by Massachusetts Department of Children & Families. Please wrap the gifts in one box using the red mitten (name side up) as the gift tag. Tape securely onto the gift with the child's name showing.
Green Mittens are for donations for a family from Lazarus House in Lawrence through Project Bethlehem. Tape the green mitten securely onto the gift with the child's name showing.
Place gift receipts in an envelope marked GIFT RECEIPTS and do not attach them to the gift.
Yellow Stars represent gifts for senior citizens/adults of the Acton Council on Aging. Purchase a $25-$40 gift card from the merchant shown on the star. Place the gift card into a Christmas card with your written greeting on the Christmas card. Do not seal the envelope.
