It’s time for the mitten trees at Emmanuel’s. Mittens, scarves, hats and gloves for all ages, genders and sizes will be collected up until Nov. 27.

Place all items on or around the mitten trees in the gathering area and the fellowship hall. These items will be donated to Bethlehem Area School District to help keep their students warm this winter.

Emmanuel’s will help Bath Area Food Bank during the month of November by collecting cookies and canned pasta, such as ravioli, SpaghettiOs, etc.

Donations for the food bank can be dropped off in the bins in the fellowship hall or upstairs in the gathering area.

Grocery gift cards, preferably Ahart’s, are always needed for emergencies. Additionally, monetary donations always stretch further than any amount of food.
