United Way Asking for Hats for the Homeless

Before long, the cold temperatures will have Michigan residents shivering.

Not everyone is lucky enough to afford hats, scarves, mittens, and gloves to keep them warm this winter, so the Plymouth Community United Way has kicked off its 2013 drive to collect Hats for the Homeless and those struggling financially.

Through the end of the year, the agency is accepting new hats, gloves, scarves, and socks for men, women and children. New blankets are needed as well.  

Last year, the Plymouth Community United Way distributed more than 1900 items.

Donations can be dropped off at Plymouth Community United Way, located at 960 W. Ann Arbor Trail, Suite 2, in Plymouth, or arrangements can be made for pick up of large quantities. 

For more information, contact Randi Williams at 734-453-6879, Ext. 7 or at randi.williams@pcuw.org.

The Plymouth Community United Way raises funds year-round for a variety of services from food pantries to an emergency dental fund, bus transportation for seniors, housing for adults with developmental disabilities, programs and a shelter for victims of domestic violence and their children, and opportunities for youth to develop skills and become valuable members of the community.
