Enfield Mitten, Glove Drive Delivers Hundreds Of Winter Items To Students

UPDATE: We are excited to share that on Monday, December 22, 2025, gloves, mittens, scarves, and hats were delivered to all of our Enfield Public Schools!! All totaled, there were 725 items donated to help our students stay warm this winter.

We could not have accomplished this without the generosity of our residents, community organizations, as well as local businesses! THANK YOU!!

We are grateful to all who took the time to drop off donations, collected donations, and help spread the word.

Enfield for Education is happy to announce our Warm Hearts, Warm Hands Mitten / Glove Drive to benefit our children here in Enfield. We began as a local coalition to fight for full school funding as well as to ensure a strong future for all of our children, and in August of 2024, we went to work for our students. We amplify the concerns of our citizens who care about the future of Enfield and we are building a network of volunteers, community members, and businesses to help us.

Our mission has expanded to supporting families in and out of school - as our children’s needs should be met not just during the school day, with great teachers and staff assisting in academics; but also in every aspect of their life: clothing, food, and the like.

As winter approaches, Enfield for Education is launching our Mitten / Glove Drive to ensure that every child in our community stays warm this season. Many children in Enfield, from preschool through high school, are in need of new gloves or mittens to protect them from the cold.

Please consider donating a pair of mittens or gloves, either new or newly hand-crafted, to help our children stay warm. Each and every donation makes a difference, no matter the amount. All items collected will go directly to local students in need.

Donations may be dropped off at:
• Central Library
• Enfield Senior Center
• Enfield Public Schools, Central Office
• Berkshire Bank, Enfield Branch
• Powder Hollow Brewery

We will be collecting the mittens and gloves through Monday, December 15th. Enfield for Education would like to thank you in advance for your generosity.
