Catholic Charities Maine holds ‘Wall of Warmth’ event
PORTLAND (WGME) – A Maine charity is helping people stay warm this winter.
Catholic Charities Maine held its annual “Wall of Warmth” event Wednesday in Portland.
Knitters across the state made 775 handmade hats, scarves and mittens.
Plus, there were 500 donated clothing items.
At their office on Congress Street, Catholic Charities handed out free winter gear to anyone in need.
“We have knitters, crocheters, quilters, artists, people with kind hearts that donated brand new hats or knitted items to give away,” Catholic Charities Maine Director of Volunteer Services Kelly Day said.
Catholic Charities Maine says any items remaining will be distributed through their 20+ programs statewide.
