Give warm hands, get a warm heart.  Add mittens and gloves to the clothesline in the Kid Zone by Thursday, January 31, 2013.  They will be donated to Pathways, a United Way agency that serves homeless women and children in the Birmingham area.  While you're at the library, pick up one of these great picture books featuring mittens.
