“Warm Hands…Warm Hearts” Holiday Glove Drive at NHPC

New Hempstead Presbyterian Church Posted on December 1, 2015 by MissionJanuary 3, 2016

We are collecting MEN’S GLOVES to be delivered to clients of the Salvation Army Canteen Food Program in Spring Valley. Men’s gloves are most in need, since most of the individuals served by the Canteen program are young immigrant men looking for work. Purchase a pair of warm winter gloves and bring them to Church by Sunday, December 13th, so they can be delivered in time for Christmas. Contact Laura Bidon with any questions.
