Bundle Up Women's Winter Apparel Drive

Women's Evening Circle is sponsoring another winter apparel drive for women in need from the Merrimack Valley. Bundle Up is a program offered by Uncommon Threads, an empowerment boutique for local women who may not have warm clothing for the upcoming cold weather. We will be collecting warm sweaters, winter coats, boots, hats, scarves, and gloves. A collection bin is located in the hallway near the office door. WEC will continue to keep the collection box in case there are additional donations for this worthy cause. Please help keep our friends warm this winter.
