Remember those in need at this time of year
(This collection technically ends today but the bin is still in the store so please bring in those items you have been thinking about)
The Old Creamery Co-op is proud to support the efforts of Tapestry Health again this year. Tapestry Health is a community-based nonprofit in Western Massachusetts that offers affordable, high-quality family planning services, reproductive health exams, STD screenings, HIV counseling and testing, needle exchange, insurance enrollment, outreach efforts, and a WIC nutrition program. Many of its clients are unemployed, poor, and/or homeless and cannot afford basic items such as clothing and blankets. As the days get shorter and the nights grow colder, these clients face a long winter. Help Tapestry keep them warm during this time.
Through December 14, Tapestry has a large plastic bin for your donations just inside the west entrance to the store. Donate blankets or warm articles of clothing (socks and underwear must be new), and for "giving the heat" the Creamery will warm you up with a free cup of coffee, tea, or hot cider. Thank you.
