The cold weather is on its way and Detroit Mercy is giving a hand to those in need by collecting warm, durable mittens and gloves for Mittens for Detroit.
Mittens for Detroit is a non-profit that collects, purchases and distributes new mittens and gloves to children, teenagers and adults in need in Detroit and other underserved cities.
The University’s collection will take place from Oct. 10 through Dec. 17, 2022. Detroit Mercy collected more than 100 mittens and gloves during the 2021 drive.
Boxes for mitten collection can be found on the McNichols, Corktown and Riverfront campuses.
On the McNichols Campus, look for boxes at home Titan basketball games, in the lobby of the Titan Dining Room, in the College of Health Professions Building, in the lobby of Student Accounting and Registrar, as well as next to the University Ministry office in the Student Union.
