The holidays should be a special time for everyone, especially children. With cold weather, many of us take for granted that we will have a warm pair of mittens to wear or a scarf to protect our face in the bitter cold. However, not everyone is as fortunate as we are. There are children who don't have mittens or hats to keep them warm.

"The YMCA of the Northwoods would like to help those less fortunate this holiday season by hosting a "Tree of Warmth," YMCA officials said in a press release. "

The Tree of Warmth is in the lobby of the YMCA. It starts off bare, but soon is filled and decorated with mittens, gloves, scarves, hats, earmuffs, boots, jackets and snow pants.

"We ask that all items be new or in gently used condition," the release states. "Handmade knit or crochet mittens, gloves, scarves and hats are also welcome."

All items can be dropped off at the YMCA of the Northwoods at 2003 E. Winnebago Street, Rhinelander. Once the tree is filled, items will be donated to local community schools and Warm for Winter in Rhinelander. For more details, visit www.ymcaofthenorthwoods.org or call us at (715) 362-9622.
