For the third year in a row, Cub Scout Pack 94 of Shiloh is setting up a Warming Tree at Martin Library, 159 E. Market St., York. In lieu of traditional ornaments, the boys decorate the tree with donated new and like-new hats, gloves, mittens, scarves and socks. They hang winter jackets on a nearby coat rack. The boys' goal is to keep the people of York warm this winter.
Individuals and families in need of winter items can take what they need off the tree and the coat rack. The Warming Tree will go up at Martin Library as part of the City of York's Light Up York festivities on Saturday, Dec. 7. Supplies allowing, the Warming Tree is typically available through Christmas and into early January.
This year, Shiloh's Boy Scout Troop 94 and Southern York County's Coats of Friendship are joining the effort. Local residents who want to donate items for the project can drop them off at Martin Library's Children's Desk. For more information, readers may visit http://www.yorklibraries.org.
