Help us fill our Mitten Trees with winter clothing now through Dec. 5.

The Ziff Law Firm is collecting new winter clothing for Twin Tiers families as part of its Mitten Tree holiday program.

The law firm is asking local residents to buy and donate new hats, mittens and scarves for all ages. The items can be left under two Christmas trees in the law firm’s lobby at 303 William St. weekdays during business hours.

All items that are collected will be donated to the Samaritan Center, at Mount Zoar and South Main streets in Elmira, for the holiday season.

All those who donate will be entered into a drawing for a chance to win one of two $50 prepaid credit cards.

“The Ziff Law Firm likes to help Twin Tiers families every holiday season, and we are told there is always a critical need for hats, scarves and gloves for all ages,” said Annette Viselli Thorne, a paralegal in the law firm and the event’s organizer.

The drive continues through Dec. 5, when the two winners will be drawn and announced, and the items will be donated.

Thanks for reading and helping your neighbors!
