This year’s Fall for Your Neighbor is a collaborative event sponsored by the Mill Spring Farm Store in partnership with Warming the View, which is a grassroots effort to collect and re-purpose coats and blankets to help neighbors stay warm during the winter.

Residents are asked to bring gently used or new coats and/or blankets. All persons who donate will be entered into a drawing on the coat/blanket distribution date to win a basket of local flavors and artisan creations.

Another date for coat and blanket drop-offs at the Mill Spring Farm Store is Nov. 12.

Dec. 10 is the distribution date of the collected coats and blankets.
