A club at Huntington North High School is in the last week of a donation drive aimed at keeping people in Huntington County warm this winter. The ASL (American Sign Language) Club is seeking new mittens, gloves, hats, scarves and other warm items for its “Mittens for Many” drive, going on now until Friday, Nov. 22. The campaign is not just looking for donations from fellow HNHS students but from the community as well.
So far, they’ve collected around 50 pairs of mittens and gloves, aiming for a goal of 200 before the campaign ends.
