In the spirit of giving, Loopwell will launch its second annual Mittens On Maple community holiday drive. Montclair residents can donate mittens, gloves, hats and scarves that will be displayed on a mitten wall for the community to take free of charge Christmas morning. These items will be placed on the fence at Glenfield Park on Dec. 24 by Loopwell Founders, Debbie and Sean Looney and their family.

“This holiday season, let's come together to spread warmth and kindness,” said Deb Looney, founder of Loop. “By donating mittens, you are not just giving a piece of clothing, you are providing comfort, protection, and a sense of community. Loop is overjoyed to see the positive impact we can make when we join forces to keep the community warm during the holidays.”
