The Local 2705 Women of Steel Comittee completed their First Annual Hat and Mitten Drive at the end of December. The committee placed bins in each department for members to drop in donations of hats, mittens or jackets. Donations of totalling $800 in cash were also received. Using this money, the commitee purchased around 160 hats and 70 pairs of gloves. They ended up with approximately 210 hats, 90 pairs of gloves and 16 jackets. The donations were collected and brought to four of our local schools; Washington Elementary, Greenhaven Elementary, Lincoln Middle School located in HIbbing and the Vaughan Elementary School in Chisholm. Through your generosity and the hard work off the commmitee some of the less fortunate kids at our schools will not go without warm clothes to wear to and from school this winter. The schools were very grateful.
Thank you to all of those who donated items and volunteered their time for this effort to support our community and make it a better place for all!!
